mounting throttle pedal

[theburner9]

Anyone have pics of how they installed the throttle pedal? I followed the manual but the top interferes with the cross bar from the other pedals and part of the frame. It appears that I don't have nearly enough pedal travel.

I had the same issue. I think I read that there is enough travel. I cut out little bit on the factory pedal assembly that gave it a little more travel.

There is enough travel, just adjust your cable and get someone else to hold throttle open as you adjust if you want to verify setup.

thats what I get for jumping the gun I suppose. haha

I am not sure about that, I mean how can it be adjusted when the travel is about half what is OEM? I measured it and OEM I have 6cm travel.
I have only 3 with that weird setup, see the straight line in red = 3cm.

So it will move the throttle twice as fast?

cable throttle trash their mount and bolt the pedal right to the firewall, it is stiffer and no cable problems, details in my thread

Hey Dan, I thought the alu FW would be a "floppier" location, but you bet I will check your thread right now. :) I am happy you are one of the cable guys (no affiliation with Jim Carrey's movie). :)

Frank, you could add some extra thickness to the firewall for even more stiffness.

[Frank818]

Yes Dan, that's exactly what I thought 1h ago. :) If I am lucky, I'll try to go to the shop today and test fit your solution.
