While working on the 63 Hawk, I accidentally disconnected a small spring. One end is attached to the steering column in the engine compartment and I'm not sure where the other end attaches. It looks like it should attach to the throttle linkage, but I'm not sure exactly where. Any help is appreciated. I looked in the shop manual and the chassis manual, but could not find it.

Now where does it connect?

On my 62 GT this spring goes from the column around the P/S hoses, if so equipped, and back to the column. It is meant to keep the hoses away from the exhaust manifold. On mine the spring sort of resembles an old time screen door spring with a rubber sleeve around it.It appears to have come that way from the factory.

I have seen those springs on other Hawks also. Some people who I've talked to suggest that they aren't from the factory but installed later by people in the service departments. Maybe there is a service letter about them?

Early Avanti's used something similar. I don't think you can get this style of pump hoses for the Avanti anymore. Part #'s for the clamp may be in the early Avanti parts book, (white cover).
