Thanks but not needed and I offer sincere apologies for leading you or anyone else astray in that detailed reply. After seeing your photo of the tube end with the extra space and groove and then Don's reply, it was obvious my feeble brain failed --- again. That is what happens after missing my nap and then trying to rely on memory at my age. ☹️
To that end, have corrected my other post about the bracket holding the levers at the bottom and for the record, even on the Clipper there is another washer and clip at the bottom to hold both levers on the tube. A shim may still be needed to determine and hold the clearance between levers but thickness needed is measured after the clip and washer is installed and does not depend on the bracket position.
Here is a photo of the Clipper levers that I took years ago when working on freeing the seized upper lever in a 47. It shows the entire lever arrangement including the bottom clip and washer. No shim was needed on this car so none is present.

Howard thanks for the detailed reply. It appears as though I need to investigate further. I could remove the broken larger spring and replace it with the locking ring and washer however the location of the lower locking ring appears too far from the lower fork. I can only thread the clamp to the locking ring and no further. The gap after the locking ring is roughly 1/4 inch before it meets the lower fork.
