WTB - Throttle Return Spring 65 GS
« on: July 09, 2018, 11:02:55 AM »
I am looking for a throttle return spring that mounts to the linkage and the firewall.  Or if they are not available what is a good alternative that can be modified?  I currently have some springs mounted towards the front of the vehicle where the dash pot goes but would like to put the correct spring on.

Thanks,
Joe

Sorry I missed your reply. Do you still have one?  I made due with a lighter spring but prefer an original.

Can someone please post a picture of a correctly installed throttle return spring?  Like Joe, my 2x4 setup has a spring attached to where the dashpot mounts and I'd like to see what right looks like. Thanks.

Photo of spring on a pedal linkage I have. This is the linkage that attaches to the firewall.

That's a good reference.  Thank you.  My 2x4 setup has a double spring in that location.  I'd be happy to hear from other 2x4 owners if they have a double spring in that location.
