Hmm, they might be a bit too strong, you don't want too much extra tension or you will lose sensitivity in operating the pedal. You really only want something to balance the "dead" weight of the cast iron in the pedal.

Dikman, 

Spot on. The springs work well to prevent the controller lever being over extended, but are no good to balance the dead weight.

I´m using heavy cast iron pedals too. My accelerator lever (JACK SERVO) has 2 notches for the spring, I simply set it to the grove further away from the pivot point - problem solved. If there is no 2nd grove just make one.

As I said earlier, Nice, very Nice. You have set it up well.

You now own a classic piece of iron, most likely last another 60 plus years, before it needs another look at.
