Clutch and brake pedal spring question

Post by Martin-K » Mon May 15, 2023 6:39 am

I have a request: I'm looking for a photo of the original Mite return springs for the clutch and brake pedals. Anyone knows where to buy these springs?
And where is the spring for the brake pedal attached at the front? You can't see that anywhere in the manuals.

Thanks in advance and greetings from Tyrol

Hi Ron,

I had ordered the springs from Bensinger, but only got MB/GPW springs.

Best regards

If you go into the downloadable manual section of this forum you can look in the SL book and get some drawings of the springs.
I hope this helps.

Greetings Martin,
Pictures of the brake spring attaching locations. When I searched a few years ago I was unable to find any springs in the US that were a good match.
Regards,
Radar

Hello Radar,

Thanks for the pictures and information. I found a spring in my used parts that came with the M422 that looks like yours in the pictures. I´ll give this to a spring manufacturer to make new ones.

Best regards
Martin

PS: very nice restoration
