Here you go
From a lhd 54/55...appear original

Throttle spring is feeble
Brake spring is sturdier
Worth noting the orientation of the hooks
Dimensions are approximate
Now can't put everything back together

thanks Scott
update the thread if you find some good replacement springs!

I know nothing on barndoors but the spring looks like the one used in a beetle brake system inside the drums . I am only guessing but it could be plausible...they used what they could find to start with...remeber they started with a beetle floorpan to make the prototype

I agree they look similar but they have 211 part #s so they are probably Bus parts.
My guess would be they are weaker than brake springs.

Brake spring, #53:
211 719 147
Return spring - Brake Pedal

Accelerator pedal spring, #72:
211 719 525
Return spring - Accelerator Pedal

Hi, first off all, thanks for this post is very useful!

One question, how is the stiffness of the springs, they are like the one of the brake system inside the drums?

we made both springs for the 54 panel recently.....have limited number of spares but could make a couple dozen if there is enough interest?

Fri May 12, 2017 3:09 pm

I've had a few guys contact me about springs.....guess I should do up an ad? They were copied off of good originals and match the spec of pics in this thread. I'll snap some pics soon, a jig was machined to wind on the lathe. We just road tested in a 3500 plus mile roadtrip from Canada to Kelly park and worked great 8) will be selling for $20 USD each spring plus shipping let me know if interested, thanks Josh

Sorry guys these are taking longer than expected.....after hours time has been at a premium lately :roll: getting there

As in if the springs are the same from RHD to LHD? Don't see why not??

Wed Jun 14, 2017 9:14 am

Yes that's what i'm after, pedal design is quite different between the two, so I'd be surprised if the springs and mounting positions are identical but I don't know for sure hence asking, none of the three RHD's between us have the proper springs so have had other things adapted to work.

If they are the same how much for a set posted to the UK? :)
