Hi I am getting close to finishing my restoration of a 1969 Morgan 4/4 it is fitted with the Ford crossflow 1600gt ( competition) engine . Today’s issue is where does the throttle return spring on the carb fit ? Is there a bracket that should be fitted to the rocker cover ? Any ideas or photos much appreciated.

If you are making your own bracket then why not make a setup with 2 springs?
A bit of insurance for one breaking.
It happened to me once. Managed the short trip home and afterthat kept a spare spring in the car as couldn’t be bothered fitting two.

Thanks for the picture. On my car (earlier crossflow engine the spring is right up against the rocker cover. I have managed to fit a smaller bracket though the inlet manifold attached to one of the fixing bolts. My carb has a torsion spring on the throttle spindle plus the tension spring I have now fitted so effectively it has the two return spring required.
