Author	Topic: mechanical throttle linkage kit??
CometGT1974 Gearhead Posts: 372 From: Asheville, NC USA Registered: Jan 2002	posted 09-05-2003 08:38 AM I am currently running a Lokar throttle cable with the CSI cable bracket. I had a friend who was running the same setup and it go hung up on him at the end of the track and he crashed his car. I've become nervous about the throttle cable and would like get rid of it and switch to a rod with joints on the ends. Is there a kit out there that would get me started, the main part i'm worried about is the fabrication required to the pedal and getting a pivot point coming out of the firewall. Could I still use the stock gas pedal or do I need to get an aftermarket one?? Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated !! IP: Logged

I ran a bolt through the pedal and then through the bell crank on the other end. the swivel in the Rod end lets it work. ------------------ JS 69 Mustang Pro ET Drag IP: Logged

How did you bolt it to the pedal? My '69 pedal has the cable hole/slot parallel to the firewall. IP: Logged

Registered: Mar 2002	posted 09-08-2003 11:51 AM if you can get the hole at a 90* angle to the firewall and if it has enough material ( metal ) around the hole to enlarge it to a 1/4 inch, you can use a 1/4" bolt and the rod in I was talking about. Should be able to get 1/4-20 rod ends at a farm supply or auto store. Lots of folks use 5/16ths and get by. Your choice. JS IP: Logged
