mysterious spring
My daughter found this large spring on the passenger floorboard a few days ago. If it matters, the car had just been detailed. Any idea where it came from?

Anyone? I'm hoping it's just something the detail people left behind.

The spring appears to have come from the hardware store, not your car.

Yea, I don't see anything that looks like that as a separate part.

That looks like it came from a ball point pen?

Except that it's 5-6" long. That would be one giant pen.

Center over spring for the clutch pedal (I'm guessing...)

Danjreed - I was thinking the same thing, one of the springs over by the clutch pedal, but the they look like this:

Return spring # 7

OR.

Compression spring

Thanks
