So as I was doing the throttle cable I realized that The original peddle set that cam with the car was ...........well less than optimum. What to do buy a wildwood set, or a Tilton..........NAAAAAAA! Fix it!
So here what I thought I needed to do.
1. clutch peddle needs a stop.
2. throttle peddle needs a travel stop
3. add spring to throttle peddle for track inspection purposes (more on that latter)
4. add throttle position adjustment so that it can be set to same rest position plane as brake peddle
5. cut all three master push rods to proper length
6. add jam nuts to push rods (had to add threads to rods)
More on 3, I have been hearing that more and more tech people are looking for two separate spring systems, not just two springs for throttle return, so I added another at the peddle end. See........two sets sir!
I also added a few more stiches of weld here and there. It all looks better now and I am more comfortable with the system having really spent a full day working on it. We'll see how it works latter when I get the car going. Maybe I saved a little money. I see why Fran puts a Tilton set in the car now however. I wouldn't send a Tilton peddle set back............hint hint.
