Default I need a picture please

I want to put in the clutch return spring (my old one broke) but it isnt obvious how that needs to be set up. If anyone can take a quick picture of their setup, I sure would appreciate it. Hard to tell if the center "u" installs as a "u" or an upsidedown u with the opening facing the floor... Any help would be appreciated...

When I replaced mine with a C5 spring, I tried to get pictures but they didn't come out. If you put it in backwards you will know it, the spring doesn't engage.

Good luck I have broken two, and decided this last time to leave it out. I prerfer the feel of it out, feels heavier, more like a muscle car.
