Lower throttle return spring MKIV Spitfire

[Bazza]

Hi, can anyone supply pictures of how the above is attached? My MKIV came with one and the bracket is also missing.

Apologies if this has been asked before.

Thanks

Thank you both for your replies.

KevinR so the bracket is attached to a stud, where the exhaust attaches to the manifold?

Yep, that's correct, the bracket is held in place by one of the nuts securing the exhaust pipe to the manifold flange.

It's extremely rare to find the parts still fitted to a 50 year old car, they normally went missing the first time the exhaust was replaced.

The equivalent function on my Mk3 is currently being carried out by a giant jubilee clip someone has fixed round the base of the exhaust manifold…
