Trick throttle spring/linkage

[Rondo]

Any idea where I find another one of these for a spare? Came with my Crossle but I don't think it was OEM?

Maybe the VW marketplace - something similar:

Thanks. That's excellent for the linear spring. I meant the rotary spring part - it mounts to the intake manifold, has a rotary spring inside and then the throttle cable and carb linkage connect to the aluminum plate screwed to the rotary spring assembly. I can make the plate but not the rotary spring

My humble opinion would to be to avoid the rotary spring. If it fails it will undoubtedly do in such a manner as to jam it and at the worst possible time. Just my 2 cents.

I’ve used aircraft bell crank bearings/plate in the past.

You already have the best return spring setup with that compression spring coaxial with the cable. I could see using a bearing in that rotary joint, and an extension spring to help pull the linkage shut, but it seems to me if you could orient the compression spring and cable vertically you could directly actuate the carb and eliminate a lot of potential failure points.
