accelarator cable to petal

[launchpad]

Hey all,

i was wondering if someone could take a picture of their gas pedal and where the lines run in order to get my accelerator cables lined up. i have some spare parts to properly assemble everything but i am unsure how to route them through the bulkhead.

as of now, the previous genious rigged up a bicycle shifter cable up to the throttle and pedal.

Thanks for any help,

LP

Stock series 2 1/4 trucks use a very Heathe Robinson rod and bell crank linkage arrrangement and not cables. You'd need to tell us what engine and carb you've got for us to provide any help.

And what's wrong with the shifter cable? Seems to me a replacement cost about $2.97 at Walmart.

Hey all,

sorry for the lack of communication,

i have a 1979 series 111 truck
2.25 diesel

from the diagrams it looks like for the diesel motor i need an accelerator cable, rod springs and a pulley.

As of now, all i have in my rig is a gas petal which has a bicycle brake cable attached to the top of the petal. there isnt even the full assembly for the linkage or pullys or anything... i understand from the diagrams what i need, i just wanted to see it on someones rig so i know where everything goes and what else i need to buy to get this functioning properly.

Thanks,
LP

Throw away everything original that you still have and buy a Defender accelerator pedal and cable for a 200Tdi. You'll only make yourself crazy trying to build up a series diesel accelerator linkage assembly.

thats the best advice i've had yet.

Thanks!
