You're exactly right: It's quite hard to put something like this back 
together if you've never seen what it was supposed to look like when 
it was new.

You are correct, except that the spring anchor bracket mounts to the 
rear stud on the aux air regulator. The temp sensor mounts, as you 
say, in the front hole.

Yes, that is the correct barrel anchor. The spring is hard to find, 
so I've been meaning to tool up to make a few.

Sorry, I don't have a photo.
