Lever return spring
Return spring for the front brake lever, catalog number 37-0592 (also listed as W592).
This is the return spring off the front brake lever assembly, part number 37-0592, also known under the old W592 numbering. It shows up across the front wheel figures in our catalog, including the front-wheel listings for the 6T as well as the T110, TR6, and T120, so it's a part that turns up on a wide run of front drum brake setups.

The job of a lever return spring is straightforward: it pulls the brake operating lever back to its resting position once you let off the brake, keeping the shoes off the drum and the cable or rod linkage under proper tension. It's a small part but if it's stretched, weak, or missing, you'll notice the lever feels lazy or the brake starts dragging.
Given how many catalog entries this one appears in, it's clearly a commonly replaced item. Confirm which front brake plate and lever setup you're working with before ordering, since front wheel configurations changed across the years covered here.
