A&C throttle pedal question

[jerry w]

Guys,

Struggling with what to order for a throttle pedal and linkage. What works in an Antique and Collectible? The instructions have the throttle linkage inserted through the side of the footbox, which I persume is a space issue if you have a clutch. I will have an automatic, so that will free up a little space in the footbox, and thus I could go through the top. Any and all advice from the experience will be appreciated. Has any one used Lokar pedals?

Tryning to make progress here.

Hi,
There is plenty of room using the pedal through the side of the foot box. I have a standard clutch set-up and there is more room than you think. I decided to change out the supplied linkage rods for 1/4 stainless rod and just threaded the ends. Be sure to follow the instructions (if you can call them instuctions ) for drilling the holes and mounting the pivots. If you need any help send me and email and I will give you my phone number. There are also a lot of build pictures in my gallery. I'm down in Rochester which is only about 4 hours from you.

Mike,

Ok you win, you have the most pictures in your gallery! Whew! I did find the one with the linkage rods, and stainless does look better than the matte black rods A & C supplies. Thanks for the advice. Did you use the Antique and Collectible pedal?
Yeah, you and I are practically neighbors...ha, ha, ha.

I used a Lokar pedal with the cable going straight up through the footbox. I used a 36" Lokar cable (could have gotten away with a 30) and run that to a CSR throttle mount. I have been running this setup for over 23k miles without a problem.

Roscoe,

Thanks for the reply, and the picture really helps me visualize what the room situation is down in the footbox. Going to look at Lokar pedals again.
