You'd be amazed what it sounds like when your clutch pedal assist spring breaks... like a bullet hitting the back of your dash, or like the brake booster exploding for no apparent reason. At least the spring is easy to get to.
Anyway, I now need a new clutch pedal assist spring for my 330. I coudn't find anything close at McMaster-Carr. Can anyone out there recommend another source?
Exploding clutch pedal assist spring - source?

Hi Deane,
Are you talking about the one on your pedal? You're lucky it didn't take a piece of your shin with it!
Sounds like a used part. I'd call the usual suspects.If you have trouble, let me know, and I look around here.

You're tight, Tom, I'll try dialing for dollars and see what I can find. It is in fact the beefy over-center spring on the pedal that helps take the pedal load as you fully depress the clutch.
Looking closely at my spring pieces, I don't think it's the original one - at least the ends of the spring don't look like the one in my parts book.

Found my spring

I found a replacement clutch pedal assist spring for my 330 at:

Just kidding.
Turns out that Patrick Ottis (the west coast's Francois, or the other way around) keeps a few on the shelf. Putting it on the car is a different matter - if I want to do it myself, Patrick recommended I buy a truck brake spring expander tool.
