Hi guys im starting to rebuild the throttle linkage on my 4.0 chim, i have worked out what goes where but i have a problem with the exact location of the coiled spring and how it fits on the throttle spindle. Could any of you v8 s owners please post a close up photo of the throttle spindle and spring, im pretty sure its the same set up thanks Tom. [ Former S3 owner and still follow threads on your forum]

This any good Tom?

If not I have a load of plenum / throttle linkage pics as I've stripped my plenum ready for powder coating.
I haven't got them on photobucket but it doesn't take long if you want me to post them up.

Thanks chris i had posted on the chim forum as well and i now have a close up photo. Your pic shows the 2 main springs, the one i had a problem with is the round coil spring which actually sits on the throttle spindle [ part of the spindle just visible top left corner of your pic] thanks again Tom. p.s get those patterns to me, also measure dia and length of your intake hose to your air flow meters, might as well make a glass cloth cover for that [keeps the intake air cool]
