I wrote that article almost 20 years ago. The intent was to inform our members regarding brake shoe and return spring differences. There was an update regarding spring colors.
For the most part the primary springs available as replacements were red/orange and sometimes maroon depending on supplier. (Packard #303837). The secondary replacement
springs are yellow or grey depending on supplier. Packard#303836. I have concluded that these return springs fit years and models with 12 inch brakes. The point is
the shoes and springs must be installed correctly for proper brake performance.
