Anyone know where to get a new throttle return spring or the length to get one ordered?

Cheers guys i managed to find a suitable one at work and cut the broken end off my original one and repaired it. The spring from work is a little softer so the pedal still feels good but now the throttle closes properly thumbup

Hate to say this, but I have been running around with only one spring for the last two years. Makes the throttle far more responsive IMHO, at least, it does on my car. Young Alex's suggestion. I carry the spare in the door pocket Justin Case (whoever he is). There is also a third spring in the throttle mechanism itself, I believe.
