Fitting an Accelerator Pedal

[andys]

I fitted a new pedal after the old one snapped, I had to weld a new bit of metal in and lost were the old pedal was, i bolted in the new pedal now my bus is not running as is was befor.

Can someone tell me from the hole the rod come out, how for back should the pedal be.

Thanks Andy

hi andy the further you get it to the hole the better :lol:
so i will add to that the further foward more travel further back less travel i think and you can always shorten the bar a bit

about 2 and 3/4 inches hole centre to hinge centre on mine.

look under the pedal, when its flat to the floor the rod needs to clear the hole, whats your distance from hinge to where the rod fits the pedal?

and there is no room for any slack in the cable, if you have moved your pedal check that flat to the floor you have got full throttle opening at the other end.
