Parking Brake Mechanism Question

[Toad455]

Hello, I've searched and haven't found an answer for this: In my pic there's a red arrow pointing to a spring that appears to be working, but the end sticking out doesn't look right, if I tuck it in with a screwdriver it goes back to the same position, is this normal? Also the spring with the yellow arrow has the end broke off and I can't find a replacement, anybody know where to get one? As a last resort I guess I can bend a new loop on it and reuse it. Thanks.

Is that not the parking brake switch for the brake indicator light?

No, this is a 78, doesn't have the switch.

Just had mine apart last night! Not sure about the spring in question, but I was able to find a replacement for the other at one of my more stocked hardware stores. As long as it it tight when installed and stretches the entirety of the travel you'll be fine.
