brake pedal return spring

[Andy Gelston]

My brake pedals are laying back, towards my feet, and I discovered the single return spring is missing.  Looking at the location and the job it has to do, I’m guessing this spring maybe the same spring that goes between the tailwheel and rudder arms.  Anybody familiar enough with this spring, located under the floorboards, just aft of the bootcowl, along the centerline, to know what the dimensions of it are so I can procure a replacement?  Thanks!

I ended up using a tension type spring that connects the rudder arms to the tailwheel arms, and it's working very well.  Thanks to my friend Don Bradford, who flys his Vagabond out of Northampton, Massachusetts, for giving me his old springs when we replaced them with the compression type.
