I went to your site to find out what they are selling for, and can't find them. Even did a search for Butty's Bits and Throttle kits. Nothing came up. Do you have a link for the kits?

can anyone tell me the distance between the pivot at the floor to where the cable connects? early bay set up

I understand that the cable side appears to be adjustable, but I need it a bit longer to accommodate a throttle body. looking for looking for 2 11/16 center to center

Is she? Remember that I have three buses at the moment. Maybe I'll flip a coin and see who gets it. :wink:

I still haven't fit this! :(
Been trying to sort thrrough my replacement pedal issue.
Hopefully this week. Makes me sad to see it sitting in my tool box.

Any reason one of these late-bay FI wouldn't fit an automatic?
