Title: LHD accelerator pedal assembly help please! Post by: beetletom on April 17, 2016, 21:38:16 pm The connecting rod from the pedal, to the cable snapped earlier.
Can anyone post up some pics of how and where it all goes back together? Car is a 64. The pedal has always felt horrible! Very notchy, and the angle of the pedal and rod never seemed right! Thanks!

Had to have 2 modified, which sorted it, for a day... And now the mount has snapped off of the pan Title: Re: LHD accelerator pedal assembly help please! Post by: baz on April 19, 2016, 20:23:00 pm From google ;)
(http://i.imgur.com/hfuUoad.jpg) Only thing bolted to the pan is the stop plate, should be an easy enough fix. Flatlands sell lots of pedal parts if you get stuck looking for something try him.

It's the actual hinge on the floorpan, where the pin goes through It's never ending! Title: Re: LHD accelerator pedal assembly help please! Post by: beetletom on April 19, 2016, 21:17:32 pm Spent Sunday evening on the m25!
Pedal linkage snapped, which I did a roadside bodge, to get me back on the road! Only for the cable to snap at the carb end!! Title: Re: LHD accelerator pedal assembly help please! Post by: baz on April 19, 2016, 21:25:45 pm M25 isn't a good place to be stuck :-[
Maybe throw up a pic of your set up and someone may help? Title: Re: LHD accelerator pedal assembly help please! Post by: beetletom on April 19, 2016, 21:52:59 pm Will put a pic up tomorrow, as abandoned the shitbox at work! :-X

The previous posters Samba link pic shows good detail of the original, floppy, linkage. Title: Re: LHD accelerator pedal assembly help please! Post by: beetletom on April 21, 2016, 23:23:11 pm Yes, saw that pedal, looks like a really good alternative!!
Also got a late pedal set up, may fit it, but just fitted a new accelerator cable , I believe the later type has a different end?? Title: Re: LHD accelerator pedal assembly help please! Post by: Bryan67 on April 22, 2016, 02:59:10 am I used to do the late model conversion with a stock roller and pedal. But after using one of these kits... never again.
