Not that you'd necessarily want to do it this way, but mine has a 1/4" ID body
washer welded onto one of the header primaries, and a spring that's about 8"
long running from that to the throwout arm. Works great except that sometimes
the spring resonates when you release the clutch. Gotta put a piece of rubber
hose inside the spring, I guess.
