Throttle pedal differences?

[Cole Liggett]

I am going through my parts and I have two different versions of the early small pad throttle pedal. One of the pedals has an extra kink in it. I’m wondering if a previous owner made some adjustments to it? Or was there a version like this?

Is the one with the extra kink for LHD?

I did a LHD conversion for a customer a few years back and found the throttle pedal was too close to the trans tunnel so had to put in a similar kink to get clearance.

When I bought this mini someone had converted it to LHD in the past and it had the straight throttle pedal. I’m converting back to RHD and I had two pedals for RHD cars.

Here is a picture of the old LHD pedal that is straight. (On the left) the pedal on the right is the one with the extra kink.

quick search on ebay suggests that the left of the first two is correct, and fits my memory too

The first picture shows a LHD pedal that has been 'converted' to RHD....the brackets with the two holes are the same...dead give-a-way.
The last picture shows a correct LHD and a RHD pedal...notice the difference in the brackets! …..

Yeah, I think you are correct. I can’t find any similar to the one with the extra kink. Thanks for the help!

I agree, I think it’s safe to say that one is modified and destined for the back of the parts bin.

Thanks for all the help!
