Need picture of throttle bracket in engine bay

[hpmad]

Hello,

I beleive that at least one of the throttle return spring broke/went on a walk about in my 1980 911 SC...

Could someone with a similar car please post a picture of the area in the engine bay where the throttle cable arrives so that I can check what I am missing?

Thanks,

These pics are from a '74 but they may help. There are two springs:

This shows the "short" throttle spring and at the bottom mid-left you can just see where the "long" return spring attaches to the top of the bell crank. The other end of this long spring attaches to a tab on the bottom of the middle intake runner.



this pic shows the bell crank where the long spring attaches:

These are from an '84, so the throttle may be different.

The '74 and '79 CIS linkage appear to be the same.

Well, then your bottom spring has gone ;-)

They do break, why I allways wave a spare in my glovecompartment.

This... you can see the hole in the bell crank where the long spring is supposed to be.

Does anyone know the Torque Value of the Throttle Linkage Bracket?
