Having a nightmare trying to get replacement bracket where the throttle cable connects to the linkage. On mine the small spring at the bottom has broken meaning throttle won't close when released. The bracket is a Ford part but I'd rather get S/h than new. Don't need the cable or plenum chamber (which it bolts to). No ford V6 in scrappys up here so wondering if anyone has one lying around spare (chq waiting!) - cheers.

Works on 'preview' anyway.
Bit I'm needing is wee beastie spring at bottom of spindle.
Guessing one end broken off as it currently just rotates uselessly.

not here yet but I do live in a 'remote area' according to most couriers who then whack on a surcharge accordingly! The fact that I'm closer to 2 cities (Inverness and Aberdeen) than a lot of my previous addresses were doesn't seem to compute with them! I reckon most stuff takes extra day to arrive due to the drivers slowing down to admire the scenery up here! Thanks again for your efforts - will update you on progress shortly

delivered this afternoon - just fitted and works a treat!
At last I can appreciate the increased throttle response of the FSE regulator I fitted while taking the head off to change the exhaust manifold (long story!).
If I ever make it down to a meet, I owe you a beer
