Spring under accelerator pedal

Type

Leaf spring-shaped return spring

Part number

GPW-9795 / WO-650483

Application

Accelerator pedal return mechanism

Features

  • Leaf spring construction for reliable return function
  • Mounted under the heel of the accelerator pedal
  • Ensures correct return of pedal to rest position
  • Replacement part for worn or missing springs
  • Compatible with original pedal assemblies

★ Reproduction of the original design to military specifications. This leaf spring-shaped return spring is a common component that is often lost during restorations or needs replacing due to wear.

Application

This spring fits the models listed in the product category: Willys MB (1941-1945), Ford GPW (1941-1945), Hotchkiss M201, Willys CJ-2A (1945-1949), CJ-3A (1949-1953), CJ-3B (1953-1964) and M38 (1950-1952). The spring is mounted under the heel of the accelerator pedal mechanism.

Installation notes

The spring is positioned under the heel of the accelerator pedal. Installation is done via a pin or stud that passes through the central eye of the leaf spring-shaped spring. Ensure the spring is correctly positioned so it provides sufficient tension for pedal return without impeding operation.

Compatibility

This accelerator pedal spring should not be confused with the carburettor return spring located on the throttle linkage cable. This specifically concerns the spring under the foot pedal itself. On later civilian models (post-1971), different types of springs may have been used.

Historical context

The leaf spring construction was typical for WWII-era military vehicles where simplicity and reliability were priorities. This small but essential component was often lost during restorations, which explains why it is a frequently requested replacement part.
