Beta clutch return spring - another damn Zagato question... :-()

[Jon Logan]

OK, I noticed some chatter yesterday and while inspecting the clutch release lever mechanism on top of the bellhousing I noticed that there is no return spring as is indicated in my manual. Replacing it would not be a problem but for the life of me I cannot see where it is supposed to attach. I see the ring on the arm itself but I cannot tell where the other end should attach. It is all SOOOOOOOOO close to the radiator fan I cannot see another point to mount. Any advice? Thanks.

Jon, The spring runs at a 30 degree angle to the arm. Draw an imaginary line from the spring hole to center of the radiator. There is a tab with a small spring attachment hole bolted to the bell housing or starter.

Thanks Jim, I will take another look. Is the tab with the spring hole bolted to something or integral to something. IE is is a separate little piece of metal that may be missing? I am sure I can fab something if it is missing.

Jon, It has to be bolted on.. Too light weight in appearence.

The tab is held on by the upper starter bolt.

You can just make out the spring & bracket in this blow-up
