Title: WTB - Throttle Return Spring 65 GS
Post by: jsboots 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

Are you still looking for a spring? I found 2 today in a box of stuff.

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.
