    Fly-By-Wire Accelerator Linkage....

    Interesting thread, although nothing seemed to happen from it. One point that was raised at the end was the fail-safes which are built into modern cars as a protective measure against the throttle being stuck open. While that is true and probably essential for an automatic vehicle, I would...

    Fly-By-Wire Accelerator Linkage....

    I did wonder, but couldn't think of anything that would do that action. A quick search I found this: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/potentiometers/8427181/ Not quite what you were referring to though..

    Fly-By-Wire Accelerator Linkage....

    That would be fantastic to have something that we can all contribute to with ideas and knowledge to have a working solution. :mrgreen: I'm guessing we could use any potentiometer? I was wondering where would be the best placement on the pedal as usually in modern cars, the pedal is mounted...

    Fly-By-Wire Accelerator Linkage....

    Fantastic idea! I have yet to get into Pi's / Ardunios, but i have a few more ideas for them. I certainly don't have the spare time to mock anything up right now, but just for reference do you know how to code? Will do! Might be a while before I have the spare time though. Yes, in theory...

    Fly-By-Wire Accelerator Linkage....

    So, I had an issue with my daily recently where I had to take the pedal apart and clean the contacts of the potentiometer, which got me thinking. :? Anyone who has a RHD bus knows how rubbish the front linkage is with the cable winding from the bottom of the pedal, around the back of the...

    What is the difference between these two Dynamos?

    I did a bit more research and it appears that black connector is supposed to be a '67 only connector, however it has been found in other years, both in 6 and 12v. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=701894&start=0 It looks like the ones I have there are both 12v 30A, but the...

    What is the difference between these two Dynamos?

    Now that's interesting! Might explain why my mate's old 12v Beetle never charged properly :lol: It was his Dynamo and gave it to me when he had a clearout.

    What is the difference between these two Dynamos?

    :lol: To be more precise, I am asking why one has the black plastic connector, what is special about it, was it fitted to a certain type of engine / VW? :)

    What is the difference between these two Dynamos?

    I am about to sell some Dynamos I have had on my shelf for a while but noticed that one has different connectors compared to the other and wondered what it was from / for? Essentially, it looks like it still has the two posts, but there is no obvious place for the 'Earth' which is usually...

    Slough/Newbury Swap Meet Parts

    A few questions for you: How does this fix to the gutter? Is it any particular brand? Does it include the side cover? Does it include the main front support poles and tie-downs? Thanks. :shadey:

    Cunning's Brighton Breeze Pictures

    Hope it is an easy repair :x I didn't think the Go Karts worked where they were. We walked passed that Go Kart inflatable area and it was covering about 3/4 of the road. We then walked down the pier and ate some food etc. When we walked back the Go Karts had covered the whole road of that...

    Cunning's Brighton Breeze Pictures

    We spontaneously went to Brighton Breeze for a couple of hours, I thought I would share pictures for people who could not go. I thought there was some great stuff there, although it seemed quieter than the last time we went which was 7/8 years ago!
