On the subject of the seals, they were there when I took them apart. But it really bad shape.

As Brian and the Owen confirmed from the parts book, the return springs are the same. The '54 Clippers share more in common with the '55 Clippers then they do with the '53s or the Seniors' in regards to the their braking components.

I have not been able to locate a part number for that lower adjuster spring. The hardware kit I bought was off of ebay. I believe the company is in MN, and they are the ones with all the listings for the brake components, and lightbulb sets and stuff like that.

I am going to try to just modify that lower spring and then see how it fits compared to the old one. I still have the old springs, but they are pretty rusted.
