[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 618154, member: 13810"] The linkages on the pre 72 busses has a way too many moving sections converting from a simple up down motion to a pull motion mainly because of the chassis configuration which lends itself naturally to a LHD accelerator position as that is closer to the centre of the bus. They might have even been ok when new but not after fifty years of use in road grime conditions. On the LateBay, I believe they’ve overcome this by having a simple mechanism to get the accelerator action closer to the middle of the bus but internally in the cab with just a rolling bar. I’ve been toying with the idea of a simple pedal action box internally connected to a flexi two piece cable and running it in a large loop up the front and behind the kick panels then straight down to the rear of the bus via under the mat and exiting either by the totem or even further just after the gear shift. I must finish sorting that. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,, simples is usually bestest :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
