Throttle Pedal Return Spring

PostPost by: WilST » Fri Jun 23, 2017 6:33 pm

I'd forgotten how to reinstall my factory hairpin Throttle Return Spring, found several threads on that. It'd be good imo for the throttle pedal itself to have a return spring, so figured out a simple way to install one, Just drill one small hole in the bracket above the throttle pedal and install the spring--done. Here's a couple photos of the install. I couldn't find exactly the correct spring needed pre-bent, so obtained one close and re-bent the ends to suit.

Also, just for reference, here's a picture of the factory position for the hairpin spring. The foreground attach point for the spring is a little out of focus, it was clearer to have the lower attach point sharply in focus.
