TonkaIIa Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Hi all, Currently in the process of installing the cables/pipe work for the 200TDi engine in my Series. I've fitted a Defender throttle pedal to the bulkhead, just needed to slightly bend the bracket to allow it to fit. A hole was drilled to allow the throttle cable to connect to the pedal. The cable on the Disco engine was short, and was a perfect length to the pedal. I connected the cable but then realized that I need a bracket or something to fix the cable to the footwell above the pedal. I came up with a simple bracket idea. Not going to go into detail how I made the bracket.....a bit easy and simple Drilled the holes in the footwell for the bracket to be attached. Cut some thick rubber and placed a washer onto the cable to take up some of the slack up. Fitted the bracket and attached the cable to the pedal. The pedal has a small amount of play (1/4") before the throttle cable tightens up, other then that all seems well. One question I do have, do you think this will be OK? The only way the cable can come out of the bracket is if the bolts are unscrewed and removed. Pedal moves freely and returns to the position when released.

Gremlin Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Good job but that is not really needed as even standard defenders do not have anything holding the cable in except a rubber grommit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

series3100 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 That's fine, better than a std defender anyway! If the play worries you/ is annoying or means you cant get the full rev range then I think the cable can be adjusted at the other end.

tuko Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Other than your "simple bracket" it's nearly identical to my setup. It'll work fine, nice job. Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonkaIIa Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Thanks all for the comments, just wanted to make sure it will be OK Cheers Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cartman Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 As a variation on a theme as it were here is my system using a Disco throttle cable and a Def pedal. Cable play is adjustable but increasing/changing the nylon washers. Why Nylon? It's what I found in the bin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover 107 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 should be fine, i've got a similar set up on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
