Hi Alastair,

Further to discussion here is the setup I did on a spare accelerator pedal I have. One picture worth a thousand words.

I used a 3/8 UNC x 1" bolt instead of the 7/8" long one as specified. Didn't have a 7/8" long one. The check nut is obviously a 3/8 UNC not a 7/16 UNC as specified in the parts book.

check nuts can also be referred to as half-height nuts which is what I have here.

Also the initial position of the pedal can be set by the adjustment on the pedal rod. Note the half-height check nut on it. Between that adjustment, and the stop bolt, you should be able to do pedal to the metal without bending any of the linkage rods or arms or carby shaft.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
