Re: Throttle cable

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

There is an "L" shaped doohickey on the end of the cable @ the pedal that 
fits into a foam (yes, FOAM) grommet. This grommet fails regularly as it is 
a product of VERY poor engineering. Try one from an A2 it's made out of 
rubber. If you NEVER want this to happen again then use a pedal and cable 
from an Automatic A1 -'83. Dont forget the little clip that holds the other 
side of the "L" shaped doohickey.

HTH


What holds the throttle cable to the pedal?  Is it
just a little bolt?

Pulling into the parking lot this morning, my pedal is
suddenly resting on the floor.  Popped the hood, and
the cable does not pull free, so I guess it is just
something inside....

Didn't want to roll around in the snow more than I
have to, so does anyone have a quick fix that will get
me a few miles (mostly downhill) to home?>

THanks
Mark
