Cool Throttle return spring and lever ?

I recently purchased an Accufab throttle body.
I noticed that it doesn't come with a return spring or lever.
I want to keep my stock throttle body in tact for a future hybrid
project. I remember a while back there was somone on one of the boards who was making the levers out of stainless steel. Does anyone remember who that was, and if they're still making them? I also called the dealer only to find out that the return springs are discontinued. Anyone know where I can get one of them either ?

The maker of the stainless throttle levers told me he didn't have any more. I have levers & springs but am out of the plastic spool that maintains the springs shape when wound. Email me though and I'm sure I can come up with all the parts.
Thanks
Steve
(BTW, Brian Weaver (BWeavy@aol.com) is also a good source for these parts)

Thanks Steve. I sent an e-mail to Brian.
BTW, I may have done an intake manifold and heads for one of your "2.8 Fiero" customers. He had bought a bored TB for his car from someone on
the internet. And I can't imagine that there are alot of people doing them.

Yes that's very likely Rob. Glad he found someone to do that work.
Thanks
