Title: Throttle please! Post by: ian on 15 June, 2008, 10:10:34 PM The small triangular piece of metal and the three bolts that hold the throttle pedal to the floor pan....has any one got any good spares?

Just a thought... Title: Re: Throttle please! Post by: Neil Lewis on 17 June, 2008, 10:11:26 PM I took that rediculous bit of rubber and metal out of my Fulvia and threw it away. Then I welded a flat plate onto the end of the throttle rod and, hey presto, I had a throttle pedal just like every other car and one I could use without it sticking part way down (or worse, part way up). Great for heel-and-toe too. It stayed like that for nearly 100,000 miles when it was sold on.
Since you can now buy after-market metal pedal sets, I guess that would be my choice now. Simply solutions are always the best :-) Neil Title: Re: Throttle please! Post by: ian on 17 June, 2008, 10:40:44 PM I don't find the pedal a problem, just a rusty plate I would like to replace, that would (in my case) be the simplest solution if any one had one knocking about, but I take your point. I've got a bit of a young wiz doing the welding, he will make one up for me, I was just trying to make his job a bit easier ;D
