Does anyone know where I can find a pedal return spring for my hydroboost brake pedal? I checked the hardware store and they did not have anything that was close enough. I have been keeping an eye out in junk yards but no luck so far.

How necessary is the spring anyway? I know I have a leak in my lines from an improper flare so that may be why the pedal is not returning. Has anyone run a hydroboost system with no pedal return spring? Does it return fully like it should?

This is on my '79 C30.

Try classic industrie. They usually have some of the harder to find stuff.

I didn't think a "return spring" was even used with the hydro-boost brake system. Where would it be located? Here is the applicable dwg/parts list:

That diagram helps, it is part #48. Guess it's called a pull back spring.
