Where does clutch spring attach?

Was putting in a new brake line and temporarily unhooked the end of this spring that goes through the clutch fork. While installing the line, the spring fell off and I never did see what the other end attaches to. Can't figure it out. Sorry for the crappy pic, doing the best I can under a 2wd. Lol.

Oh some kind of frame bracket? Anyone know where the heck it is, exactly? I didn't see it anywhere down there but I'll look again tomorrow.

Edit: that diagram says 4x4, mine is a 2wd, not sure if that makes a difference. The combo valve is right around where the spring looks to want to attach.

I found this pic on the Internet, but if you compare to my pictures, my setup looks a little different?

Thanks for the pic, helped me find it. It wasn't quite where I had been thinking. Got it hooked back up and headed out for gas now.
