picked mine up saturday and fitted today butty...........one question.
with it all fitted there is some play on the pedal.
when you press the pedal there is about 5-10mm orso play before you feel the cable take the pinch.
i got underneath and could see there is travel when the pedal goes down before the new linkage starts to pull the cable if understand what i am trying to get at.
is this normal??
the pedal stands nice and tight now and the bigger spring shuts off the throttle linkage(carb end) nice and quickly.
regards.

Ok i dont need a full on email overload , i now have many many many photos of rhd early bay setups and have pretty much given up on making 1 kit fits all , so im offering a rhd kit if you send me photos of your kit as it is now , needs to be a shot from underneath the pivot and hole in the floor , then im able to gauge what may or may not need doing to the stock kit i have here , hope that makes sense , and be patient as each kit is built by me ......
Kits are £65 delivered and thats with the genuine floor rubber .
As i say patience is required , and its only being offered on here at the mo .....
Do me a favour aswell bung up a few photos if you like the rhd kits .
Kit is the rod from pedal down to the new swivel section , then a long rod with 2 rose joints this rod has extra thread on each end so allows for making shorter or longer , so there are a few bits you will need to do to this reference setting up , its a common sense kind of thing , and if your not 100% happy with it just bag it up and bung it back for a refund minus postage , success rate so far is very good ....
So if you want one starting taking decent photos for me , when photos come through i will get on it so could be a few days till posted out , better your photos are the better chance kit will go straight on .....
SO FROM BELOW LOOKING UP (photos wise)
Also if anyone can bung me a return spring i will get a load ordered up , or i need the outside diameter of spring and wire thickness also the overall length would be good , as i know many of the original springs have broken over the years ....
Alot to take in but there it is guys and girls .....

This is bobbyt s and exactly what im after ....
I have just had some rhd earlbay return springs turn up so will get them fitted up asap , also i now have dimensions for doing all the parts associated with the throttle kit on rhd buses , so should have complete front end kits in stock in about a months time , but will involve a bit more effort to fit , but once in should give an amazing pedal feeling and return action . Will be like the rhd split kit i sell , double bearings for the crosshaft and taller ends to give that bit more cable pull if you need more that is ...
