Great site, don't know why i haven't used it before.
Just fitted new dellorto's and thought id taken enough photo's but i cannot find the correct location for the return spring
I know one end is fixed to the cable actuator on the carbs central point but where does the other end locate.
Any advice/photo's would help.

I go to the hardware store and select an appropriate one off the shelf for 49 cents and modify the carbs to work by pulling up instead of pushing ---or go to the wrecker and select one from whatever looks good and shorten it to work ...unless you are into concourse then Im sure someone will sell you a 'genuine' Lotus factory 26R racing throttle spring used by Pescalaro for a great amount of money ,,,,ed

Weber do a nice bracket that mounts on the top of DCOE's and spring that may work on your carbs.

Hi James ----I have seen them . this set up has an hour or 2 on a Saturday and a total investment of 90 cents and is bullet proof on both cars . Plus it has that primitive boy racer look I like so much the upper spring retention bracket is the prototype and may get pretty over the winter -----ed

Didn't the original poster ask where to attach his Dellorto spring? so shouldn't all these "wonderful" fixes be in the Mods section

As long as we're not in the Shapecraft thread ...But it is Lotus related and there are springs involved and sadly no tats .....ed
