Re: Brakes Springs on a 47 Packard

According to later SMs, the orange spring is on the primary shoe and yellow is on the secondary so orange spring toward front. Smaller cars had the same color springs (V8 Clippers for one). Kanters brake kits for the 47 Customs come with the same color springs -- gray -- so as O_D says, maybe not that important the different tension on the modern shoes.
