 These, when bent outward just a little, fit into slots on the far side of the steel bushing pressed into cam cover. \\
 Here's how the factory assembled this thing. \\
 They had pre-assembled the brass to the steel before the steel was pressed into the cover. \\
 Then dropped the spring into the cover and pressed the brass/steel assembly into the cover as a unit (and manipulated the spring to sit correctly if needed). \\
-However, it is possible to assemble the unit without removing the steel from the cover. ((62 Ironhead of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1861965&page=2)) \\

 You can bend the tangs out without having to remove the steel bush with a screwdriver and a hammer to bend the 2 locating tabs out. \\

 This was the brake shaft design from 1977-1979 (even though the rear brakes went hydraulic in 1979). \\
 However, in 1980, the MoCo moved the brake operating lever to the trans sprocket cover so the hole in the cam cover was now useless (1980-1985). \\
