fourleaf Posted July 20, 2013 Report Posted July 20, 2013 Gents, I need help identifying this spring. I was putting on a new high beam switch and crawled under the car and found this spring laying there. Story of this build i tell you!! It is 8 inches long and found on the floor below the steering column area. Doesn't mean that it didn't come off something in another area, but i am trying to give you as much as i can as i know this is a dumb question. Could use your help! thanks Quote
plyroadking Posted July 20, 2013 Report Posted July 20, 2013 Looks like my throttle linkage return spring? Quote
Solution fourleaf Posted July 20, 2013 Author Solution Report Posted July 20, 2013 Looking on eBay to see if I could match it up it looks like the brake pedal pull back spring. What do you guys think? Quote
P15-D24 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Posted July 20, 2013 Throttle return, if I remember correctly the brake return springs are more beefy. Bigger question is your throttle linkage missing the return spring? Quote
Young Ed Posted July 21, 2013 Report Posted July 21, 2013 Being you found it inside the car I would guess its the spring for the seat adjusters. However I seem to recall they had only had a space between coils and hook at one end. Quote

Best answer was already selected but I am not sure why???? Quote

fourleaf Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Posted July 21, 2013 Looking on eBay to see if I could match it up it looks like the brake pedal pull back spring. What do you guys think? I did check on the master cylinder and it was missing the pull back spring for the brake pedal. I was able to make one yesterday and she is back working again. Thanks for all of your help! Quote
GlennCraven Posted July 21, 2013 Report Posted July 21, 2013 Glad the car is back working. How's Creedmoor these days? I lived in Henderson from 1998-2010. Lots of tree-lined country highways and byways for some old-school motoring. Quote

Lots of tree-lined country highways and byways for some old-school motoring. Creedmoor is the same. Only 2stop lights down town and a couple of more pharmacys popping up as usual. There are some old school guys in the area. Kind of tight nitched around here also. There are a lot of back roads to drive on around here though. I won't be driven anytime soon though as I keep on having issues with the car. Wheel cylinder went out today. Is what is it!! Quote
