Pedal return spring location

[Grant Woodbridge]

could someone please post a pic of your pedal box showing your return spring locations. I stripped mine over 2 years ago and am having trouble getting it looking happy.

I am also not sure if the springs I have were not changed but the previous owner.

And the springs look correct ?
The hole you referring to is it for the clutch pedal? I see a hole inline with the clutch pedal. Not one there for the break pedal.

brake pedal goes to a pin or bolt iirc

Sorry to be a pain about this but this just looks wrong. Is it the spring or the position?

Grant, you don’t say what year your rig is, but that spring does not look like the ones in my ‘64. Mine both have a long hook on one end. I’ll see if I can get a picture.

Like so. Mine are not stretched much at all when the pedals are pulled up.

Also, the holes mine are attached to are farther inside. A bit of the dash just under the instrument cluster. Hope this helps.

This is how my spring sits in my 72

Here's the one on my (left-hand drive) 1980. Goes to a hole in the dash board return lip, just to the right of the steering column. It's a fairly straight shot from the pedal to the hole, though it may not look like it from the camera angle.

Thanks guys. Sorry mine is a 1978.
My Springs looks the same as yours 1911. I should be good from this. Thanks again.
