4.2 throttle arm springs?

[Jcerb]

Hi people, i'm not sure on the name of the springs but they close the butterflies on the back of the spindles? Mine seem weak and can stick the idle open which is annoying! There is not enough "snap" in them! Can you buy these still? Cheers

Yes, TVR Power have them but you have to bend them into shape yourself.

Thanks very much Simon! Are they easy to fit?

As long as the two tiny hex head grub screws that hold the attachments at the end of the butterfly spindles aren't seized or rounded not too much of a problem at all.

Don't be tempted to heat the springs up to bend them as they will break, use some pin nose pliers to get the shape.

Make sure that with the butterflies closed there is tension on the spring too.
