Any pictures of pre-J shaped accelerator pivot bracket ?? I have a Dec.18,1962 kombi..(1963) I am looking for the correct way to link accelerator cable to pivot bracket.. My 63--67 Bentley only shows mounting with the J bracket.. Thanks, Bob King,63,EZ, Long Beach. Ca..

Thanks Everett,, I saw that one earlier... My bracket starts off like the J-bracket then just ends ,,does not bend around like the J-bracket,. I bought my Bus in 1969,second owner, I don't think it was ever broken..Mine has the part with the spot welds still there then a perfect right angle, at the bottom, Does not look broken.. Thanks again.. Bob King.

I just did one two days ago. Here is a link to WW...this what you need:

http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=211798001

It's tough to tell in the picture but the whole piece is wrong. It looks like a home made "L" bracket.

The rod that attaches to the gas pedal on one end and to the "L" bracket underneath. The rod looks like this..... http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=211721615

The rod is held on with a spring on each end (pedal and hole in "L") with springs only.... http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=211259283

The elbow of the "L" is held on with a pin.... http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=N132421

The other end of the "L" is where the throttle cable attaches. Judging by your cable it just attaches in the hole of the "L" bracket.

In the 2 pics the Ev posted. The above one is for an earlier bus and the 2nd is for a later. Look on page two of this thread, 1/2 way down. Ev posted a picture of his 61. See the "J" shaped bracket???....your bus doesn't have that. Broke off maybe??

I can't tell in your picture where exactly the "pivot point/elbow" is attached. It appears that someone drilled a hole to attach

So...did we decide that on the '67s the bracket goes INSIDE the "J", as shown in the Bentley manual, or did we decide the manual was wrong?

I don't see any reason why a '67 would be different so... on the outside.

I checked my pics of past Buses and the only '67 I had had a pedal pan on it so no dice there but my '66 had it on the outside and it lined up perfectly.

Below is a photo in the 1959 Transporter Workshop manual, so it would be correct for at least thru 1959 or '60.

And here is an illustration of how VW suggested that dealerships keep the accelerator cable from tangling/rubbing on the tranny. The mechanics could bend up a stiff wire as shown and feed the accelerator cable trough it. From the same Workshop manual...

I hope this helps someone out there.

I saw your post and your neat tool but I do not know the answer.
I have never replaced that spring myself without a complete replacement of the floor bracket.

I suspect it gets "welded" to the floor from rust on a lot of Buses.

I think I have seen campingbox say he has replaced it while in place, maybe he can comment.

I was surprised that you were able to knock the pin out with a couple hammer smacks. I think those are usually frozen too.
I wanted to replace the pedal spring my Double Cab (it's actually still free moving) but when I tap the pin a little, I feel like it's going to break the bracket off the floor.

If you keep soaking it and lightly tap on the bracket I bet that if your tool is thin enough you will get that bad boy out going at it like you have pictured.

Thanks for the help. I ended up using a punch to name the floor go down and away from the hinge. This made enough to get my custom tool in there and pull the remnants of the spring!

panel

Is the push rod from pedal to lever straight or does it have a bend in it at all other than the two 90deg at either end ?

Also is/does the lever under the bus have a 90deg 'V' shape to it or or are some less/more of and an angle ?
