May be a silly question, but...  I have after-market disc brakes on my=20
1950 3600.  Recently redid the rear ones and all is working well.  But=20
when I press the brake pedal down to stop or slow down, it stays engaged=20
and I have to release it with the toe of my boot.  Is there a spring=20
that I missed?  Any thoughts?

Thanks!
