Nice write up.

Here's a picture of when I added it to my 70'. Look under you mat. There should be holes in the floor for it.

Ah, I learn something every day here on the Samba. Here's a pic of that stop from the internet

Yes, I am missing that but my holes have rubber plugs in them so I'm not sure my bus used that stop or not.

I remember BD or Westfabulous talking about this part a few years ago. At that point it was considered rare, but no one could exactly pinpoint what years it was used on Nd it it was even meant to be a permanent part or removed after delivery

I'll order one but I still don't think my pedal would hit that stop. There's just too much gap

They are suppose to be there I know on the carb powered early bays. I can't speak for later years. In the last few years, many people are repo'ing the part. CIP-1 sells them and other places.

Most floor mats, including VW originals had the cut outs for the pedal stop. Wolfsburg West's do as well.

After I installed mine, I adjusted my throttle cable so it would not put stress on the throttle shaft with the pedal on the floor. You want to have just a bit of slack yet achieve full throttle on the carb.

I always wondered what those cut outs were for in the floor mats. Now I know. Thanks

Here's some info I found on the stop. I still don't think it will solve my problem.

With shipping the total from CIP1 would be over $22. I may hold off until I need to order other items as well

Not sure if I'll buy the stop or make one.

On all the ultra low-milage early bays I've seen, the the throttle stop plate holes are caulked like the speedometer clip, or other seams in the body panels. I believe, from that, the plate would have lived there for the life of the car. When the accelerator pedal stop was removed, the pedal metal tab became a cm or two longer to compensate.

Buy it soon, they go in and out of production every few years. I wanted two years for mine.

I just scored a perfect original for my 72 from Avery's this very day. They still have a couple.

I solved my problem of the pedal "foot" not reaching the floor. I removed the linkage and cut new threads onto each end of the pedal rod using an M5x.8 die. Then I cut off 1/4" of material off each end. This made the rod 1/2" shorter and when reinstalled was almost perfect. I readjusted the throttle cable at the carburetor and now I have the correct travel.

I still may get the plastic pedal stop and when I do I can reset the cable again at the carburetor.

Lastly, I'd just like to put a quick plug in for the people at Butty's Bits. They went back and forth through email this morning trying to help me solve my issue.

What size rubber grommet did you use. The one he sent me was too big and the top folded a little. In fairness he told me it was going to be too large for the hole in my late bay.
