Perhaps tempting fate here in typing that I have not ever worked on my Morgan`s clutch, however it seems to me that the idea of a return spring in the pedal assembly may well be designed to offset the chance of the driver resting his foot on the clutch pedal perhaps more so in busy traffic situations thus creating additional and unnecessary wear on the clutch release bearing, which on older Morgans may be carbon faced where it contacts the pressure plate assembly and far more susceptible to wear than modern release bearings, (perhaps 80`s onwards?) which I suspect have been redesigned to more cope with the effects of ever more traffic queues on the roads...?
I suspect the spring strength, if fitted, will be chosen to act as above but also not to increase greatly the effort required to depress the pedal..?
Edit... Just thought to add that it may be possible on some Morgans that the spring may be found at the gearbox end of the clutch actuating mechanism again providing the same release bearing preservation function...
