I will try my question again, I didn't get an answer last time, but I think someone out there must know the answer. I am confused about the bi-metal spring that opens and closes the heat damper on my exaust manifold. I got it back from the machine shop and it is not how it was when it went in. The outside of the spring is not attached to anything, and I can't figure out how it is supposed to attach. Can someone help me? Thanks Bob lasergame@prodigy.net

It doesn't attach to anything; it just hooks over the pin. lancer_41@excite.com

It was an easy fix, once I came to grips with bending the spring. Thanks. lasergame@prodigy.net

There should be a "hook" on the end of the spring that wraps around a post sticking out of the manifold, if I recall correctly. See if you can find another car to look at.
