1958 Brake Spring Color anybody up to the challenge?

[Justin B.]

Do any of you know what color the early 1958 LOWER brake ADJUSTER spring was?? Yes, I know some of you are saying, "who really cares." I do. Just bored and looking for more corrections to make on the Big Brake car while I am waiting for the body to be completed. ALSO, was this spring the same part number for 1957-1962 Corvettes?? Come on guys, I know a few of you have the GM parts books, please help. Thanks a bunch!!

This is from libertyship (thanks to John Hinckley for the reference):

"Mike Ernst (see Restorer; Volume 17, #4; Spring 1991; pages 28-32) has noted that the adjuster springs should be Black on the front and Baby Blue on the rear of 1960-62 RPO 687 cars. Base adjustor springs are Dark Blue and were used on most RPO 684 cars."
