Les Henson Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Has anyone got pictures / line drawing of the end of the throttle cable and how it connects to the pedal on the above. The TD engine is in catflap, and I need to work out how to connect the throttle pedal. Anyone done this? Can you use all the 90 bits to connect the cable to the series pedal or do I need to use a 90 pedal? Thanks everyone. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Les, Many moons ago when we built the hybrid, we used a 90 throttle pedal. It was easiest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porny Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Use a 90" pedal... I've got one if you need it... might even still have the throttle cable (but not sure) Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Sounds good Ian. Is it the whole thing, such as brackets (if there are any)? I really need a picture or drawing to see the differences. I'll try to have a nose inside someones 90 this week and let you know. Les.

minivin Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Being a bit dim here, are you trying to or planning to fit a defender peddle into a series footwell? just that the vertical back wall is only about 3" tall in the series footwell, while 4" or 5" tall in a def/90/110 so this means you have to cut and bend a def peddle assembly to fit a series. I'll get a photo in a few minutes of how I did mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Ok, here we go, I got a pedal assembly and straightened it out as it's bent to fit the shape of a defender footwell. I then bent it to the shape of a series footwell and two of the holes lined up with two on the series set-up, perfect, two less holes to drill! I then tweeked the stop abutment so that the pedal went to the floor (smaller area in the series well means less movement unless modified), and I got it like this at present: Dunno if my cable is def or Sherpa, but it had a plastic abutment so I drilled a hole to line up with the assembly and it goes through as such: Gets rid of all those nasty linkages and bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outrage Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Les, I reused the standard pedal arrangement and all the existing rods on my lightweight. i just made up a bracket that holds the throttle cable outer sheath and then used one of the levers off the throttle rod that runs across the bulkhead to pull the throttle cable, works a treat. there are some shots of the engine bay on my website that might show the bracket.
