Broken clutch spring ID help

While tinkering this morning I found a broken spring that's supposed to help depress the clutch. no wonder it felt so stiff.
Pelican lists a part # C-423-305-06 Can anyone tell me if I'm looking at the right part?

Here's also a shot of my car taken at an AX yesterday at Irwindale speedway, I finally took 1st in class (ISS). WooHoo. I still have a bunch more to learn but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Another 100 years of track time and I'll be an ace

My buddy was running his V8 914 will ungodly stiff suspension and full tube cage that extends to all the suspension points. He got me by 1/10 of a second

I'm not sure but we may have even snuck our way into the top 10 TTOD.
Fastest car out there was a 73RS clone (highly modified) a boxster S and a honda S2000 were also in the running. Those things scream in the right hands.

Yes, that is the right part number. Interestingly, the spring you show lacks about 1/2" on the loop around: they are typically a bit longer than that. However, I have been told that you want to nick some of the extra off the loop just so you can get it around the stud on the pedal rack.

Have you rebuilt your pedal rack with fresh brass bushings? I cannot recommend this upgrade highly enough. Combined with a new clutch cable and helper spring and the clutch is soft as butter, really!
