Default T-5 Return Spring

When using the Cornhusker bellhousing what do you use for a return spring? The aluminum bell housing has no place to use the original style spring?

As I explain in the instructions a small tab needs to be fabricated that bolts to the top bearing retainer bolt. The furnished spring hooks to this tab and to the hub to keep it in constant tension against the fork.

I put your bell housing together on my flathead years ago. At that time I drilled the bellhousing and put a small eye bolt behind the fork. During a recent rebuild I can see were the spring has been rubbing the throwout bearing. Wonder how to make a better mouse trap ????
