After taking out the pedal assembly to machine some new bushings and clean it up a bit, i decided to get rid of the horrible gas pedal situation while i was at it. so i came up with this...
  I wanted to keep everything together as one unit, no more of this bolting the pedal down separately stuff. As you can see its a work in progress. Heres the pedal design:  Ill machine it out of aluminum hopefully this weekend. the best part: a real tie rod that has no chance of falling off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) if there's interest, i would do a whole rebuild of other peoples' assemblies with UHM bushings and this new pedal. unless of course no one else besides me is having problems with theres, which may very well be the case! |

I am/was a CNC controls tech for Mori seiki and Okuma, and do retrofits now for a large company. |

QUOTE(Mikey914 @ Sep 25 2010, 04:20 PM) This is an excellent solution to a crappy design. But do check the fit, it looks like you may want to take a little off the bottom. It already fits perfectly, but i'll get it finished and mounted and use it for a while to make sure it doesnt interfere with anything.

Ill just warn you now, its not as easy as it sounds! i had a pro come in twice to try to set it up, and he got it working for a little while, but then it stopped and he couldnt fix it again. if you want to take on the challenge, thanks a bunch! if so ill give you some more details. |
