Alright mate

The longer edge of the spring hooks on the peg of the transfer bar, and the other leg of the spring hooks over the bracket, you have to put it in and then twist the transfer bar (it is pre-loaded)

so the longer peg clips round the front or the back of the peg, and where about does the other clip go on the bracket?-the bottom of the bracket?

no cos its all been powder coated
should the spring be trying to pull the peg towards the bulkhead or away from it. I thought it was to pull the peg away from the bulkhead, but if its the other way round then i get how it goes

The spring pulls the transfer bar towards the bulkhead (so with no servo on there the pedal should be sat as it normally is). You have to turn it about 1/4-1/2 when the spring is located correctly to install it all
