LWFF: Gas pedal spring just broke!!! HELP!!

I was driving around Sears Point in my #9 Dodge and then my LWFF gas pedel spring snapped and the top 1/4 of it came off. I have looked for a replacement spring at Walmart, Lowe's, 2 Auto Parts stores, and a Tractor shop. I cant find one anywhere!!! Where can I get a replacement??? I need to drive fast and my 92 Mercury Sable isnt cutting it. HELP!

To clarify: put the ball under your brake, and move the brake spring to your gas pedal. Sorted :). Cheers Gerry

I've got a spring under my gas and brake pedal for my old Mad Catz steering wheel that I bought from The Home Depot. :) Better than new, seriously! ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrash.00game.com

i guess that could work for a while, but the brake spring is shorter than the gas one. So does anyone know where I could find some real springs? "Gerry Aitken" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

So does anyone know where I could find some real springs? I have found replacement coil springs for my LWFF pedals at Home Depot and at local, mom and pop (non-chain) hardware stores. You may have to cut the spring to the correct length, but it's pretty easy to do. -- don GPL Programs for the Converted Tracks: http://www.ianparker.co.uk/gpl/bapom/

Try a model shop the spings in the logi a simaler to springs used on model cars. Alex drinklime <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Crkl6.1158$[email hidden]...
