Re: 47 Custom Super Throttle Rod Return Spring

I didn't have any brackets to measure so just went by photos from the archive and some ebay cars engine cmpts I collected. Went with what I thought would work and look appropriate. Looks quite a bit like yours from what I can see. Don't think the dimensions are all that critical but perhaps someone can give some official measurements on the postwar piece.
Looking at the photos, there does appear to be a bit of difference between models and years. If nothing official is posted, here is what I did. Made a pattern out of cardboard to get something I thought looked OK and would line up the spring mount hole with the bracket clevis. Traced the cross rod bracket to get the bolt hole pattern and contour so it would mount neatly under that piece.
In an earlier post I asked if there was any stiffening or reinforcements and the answer from a couple of people was that there was none so made mine out of 10 ga for the rigidity.
