Gas pedal stop ideas.

[Whatton90]

So I've gotten a new throttle cable for my 70 baywindow from wolfsburgwest and am trying to adjust the cable freeplay. I know there's 2 holes in the floor for the original pedal stop. However mines gone and even with the cable adjusted all the way loose, at full throttle the pedal still doesn't hit the floor. My concern is that overtime, at full throttle the cable will eventually pull itself apart as there's no freeplay. Hope I'm explaining this enough. If there was a stopon the floor it may allow jist enough to keep the cable from getting banjo tight. Other than the aftermarket pedal stops, any ideas?. Put a bolt and jam nut on the pedal to allow it to bottom out b4 the cable gets tight? I need ideas.

Why not just fit the original part?
If you are a starving student, a block of wood and two screws from underneath can do the trick.

I’ve used a carriage bolt before. Insert bolt thru one of the holes, place a desired height and use 2 nuts with washers to hold in place.

Or you can spend $8 for the correct part.

So this pops in after the insulation and rubber mats are in place?

I like the carriage bolt idea. I just needed something temporary to use to do a few shakedown runs and to go thru inspection. I'll order the right part on my next order soon.

[metahacker]

do you have the folded piece of metal on the top/rear of your pedal?

[Whatton90]

Metahacker, yes it's there and not damaged.
