Ok so went to move the girlfriends abarth 500 this morning and as I depressed the clutch the below fell off. Suspect it's a clutch return spring. I took it for a spin and all controls seem fine. Popped to the dealer and they want £390 for a complete pedal box. I know that it's fitted for a reason but is there a cheaper option? Could it be welded back on, I can see where its snapped on the photo. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Pedal functions fine, just sits about 3mm higher when disengaged?

Thanks, and there was me thinking I'd looked on every forum after an hour or so's googling.

Local friendly indy thinks he can weld it back on. We shall see.

Just a bit of an update to close this off and offer some help for anyone who Google's or searches PH for this in the future...

My local indy welded it all back together for the cost of 1 hours labour. £65. Very very happy!
