Sorry, I forgot to update this.
Here, you have two choices, there is either the lower of the two in this one:
Or this one, this is the same as on my '66.
Hope it's of use. |

Hi o/
Here's what my RHD '66 looks like now, I completely removed it all and put it back together as part of my resto.
Pedals by CmdrFire, on Flickr
The assembly goes:
Accelerator fitting goes into brake pedal tube goes into clutch pedal tube. The whole lot is mount with the brake and clutch pedal tubes being largely in the tunnel. On the other (left) side of the central tunnel the hook of the accelerator fitting sticks out as does the bracket which mounts the whole lot.
Bad description, I'm sorry. If I recall ETKA has got a diagram of what the entire assembly looks like for RHD. When I get home tonight I'll pull it up and post it on here. The Bentley book and stuff doesn't really contain useful info on this for RHD I found. |

Sorry, I don't have much experience at all with RHD,
but I'm sure somebody will come along soon to help you.

If they bolt to the floor and not the center tunnel,
you've got some kind of custom or modified pedal
cluster to deal with there.
There should only be 1 bolt through the floor pan, holding
the pedal stop plate in place.

they seem to be held on differently to the way the manual shows-they bolt to the floor not the tunnel and are held on some how on the other side of the tunnel.
how do i remove them?
cheers |
