I recently disassembled one of my Hercules to clean it up and noticed that the brakes were missing the part on the back that sandwiches the spring against the round front doohickey. I'm not sure what the part is called, but I'm just wondering whether to just put it back together with the part missing (it was braking as expected) or to try to find a replacement set of calipers. I've posted some pics below for to show what I'm talking about.
