Throttle Pedal

Post by **billycooper** » Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:56 am

So, i came to fit my throttle pedal on my "60" , It dosn't fit, the bit where the cable goes through is a long way off !, as some of the bits that came with the car where in boxes i'm not sure its the right one, is there different pedals through out the years ?

i'll try to upload a pic tonight

Do you have the pedal stop fitted? fixes to the bottom bolt of the pedal box

its probably just got bent if the cable retainer slot wont line up with the hole in the bulkhead.

It does seem to be like 3 inches across, nearer the o/s wheel arch, is there different pedals ?

It's as if the bracket needs turning round !, but I can't see how, I'm sure it was fitted to the car when I bought it !

That's a left hand drive throttle pedal ........
That would explain why

Not sure how you ended up with that gas pedal....it is a LHD pedal!
Here are two pics. of a RHD and a LHD pedal.
Top is a RHD and bottom is LHD

Was it fitted by one stud to move be it over to the left?

Might be uncomfortable, but one could sit on the handbrake straddling the shifter and use it as is with the left foot.

Actually, there may be some looking for the RHD pedal for a conversion.

Seriously, you could heat it and bend it to suit!
