But I sure have been frustrated on more than one occasion with my '31. Each time it was a matter of positioning the spring improperly. In fact after the last time, I bought an old original brake handle and spring just so that I could always have a copy of one that I could look at. I know that this doesn't help, but I might be able to take photo of my '36 brake lever if that would help. Bill Barker
