I need a spring for the return on the throttle, halfords and b&q don't sell springs, where can I get one from. Not online as I need it on

Aldi also had assorted boxes in a while ago. You might still find some.

those screwfixc box springs, and probably the halfords ones are quite weak - I don't think they'll be strong enough for throttle pedal
unless you faff around doubling or tripling them.
RS looks like the best bet - search for "extension spring" (if you find something suitable., then U2U me - I have them local to me and
have account - but you would need to wait a few days due to most likely not being in stock and then posting to you + plus they sell them in packs of 5
so be sure you knwo correct one). use freebie red PO elastic bands in the interim?

bought the screw fix ones, great little box. Found one that was just perfect. the mech just needed an extra little bit of tug for the final couple of
mm to return to idle
