[AT] Case VAC throttle spring thingy...

[Spencer Yost]

If you read closely, the picture is of a used spring, but you are purchasing a new spring. $55 is still awful steep though. I mainly included the link so that you would know the name is apparently simply “foot spring”. Not very creative if you ask me :-)
