48 - 54 Chevy Pickup Brake Pivot Retainer?

Before I go hacking up some good old metal, can somebody give me a hand on this piece?

I've searched everywhere, but can't find what was originally used to hold the spring on the brake pivot bracket.

The only thing holding it on when I bought the truck was a banged up washer!

I've tried a snap-ring, and an e-clip, both are too narrow to hold the spring.

I was thinking about drilling the groove and using a cotter pin, so I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks y'all.

 

Try around on here http://67-72chevytrucks.com/. There are a few that still have stock trucks. There is a 47-59 section on there.

 

@nickpayton I tried that too. No luck.

I've looked at Patricks and LMC but nothing listed. Its probably a $3 part that would make life easy, but don't know where to look. I might just need to drill it and use a pin.

 

from a couple of pics I have found on line & on ebay it looks like it's just a snap ring and I have seen some w/a bent washer. BUT try turning the outer cup around backwards so the spring sits inside the cup & use a thick E-clip or snap ring.
What I did on my project because I had too, I put the spring on the inside between the clutch pedal slug & the mounting bracket & then pushed everything in & used a thick/wide snap ring to hold it all together.
A friend of mine is going to take a pick of the washer and said it is an odd bent washer....joe

 

hang on and I'll look

 

Here you go.

 

Kick ass! Thanks. I'll do some hardware searching tomorrow, see if I can't find a snap ring to fit.

Those pics are a far cry better than what was on mine
