The 1/2 moon shaped things on the firewall side of the TB are for the cruise control right? and the important one is on the side towards the front of the car yes? I hope so...lol, i have a tb mod completed unit with a missing Spring stop on the firewall side...I think i broke almost every screw and nut on this thing, and i was gentle with a can of lube..bad mazda parts....!!

well, no worries, its just dashpot spring stop, with no dashpot the problem works itself out nicely...now to hacksaw off that bar and clean things up a bit...=)
