Throttle cable and pedal setting

[Scotty996T]

Hiya

We had a throttle cable snap today on the Supersport - no harm done and fixed at roadside but quite surprising - anyone had that?

Also on any narrow body car, is the accelerator (at rest) set alongside the brake pedal or is it set a bit behind the brake and if so, how much?

Had a look at our SV, but pedal set up is different.

Grateful as ever for any advice.

Great Supercar meet at Snakes Pass today - check out Yorkshire thread.

Ta Scott.

Mine is set so that I can heel and toe (badly usually ) - so accelerator is lower than brake at rest and about level when the brake is being pressed firmly.

Just open the cover of the pedal box and you can alter the brake and clutch pedal anyway you like. If you open it, you'll immediately know what I mean.


I must say, I would have liked the brake pedal a bit further towards the gas pedal as I have small feet. Don't think I can move the pedals sideways, though.

Take the pedal off the spindle and you can bend it sideways to suit

TADTS (They all do that Sir!)

Also Clutch cable is prone to break as well.

Many people fit pedal stops under the pedals to prevent overtravel, and most of us who tour carry a spare throttle and clutch cable (cable tie them to one of the chassis rails inth eemgine compartment - with a spare belt as well) http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/helluvaname/7Mods#51...
