Pics of Accelerator pedal

I will post the info you need later. You should have two cast lugs mounted on the floor. There is a 1/2 inch dia. rod that rotates in those two lugs. One end has an arm with a roller that is actuated by the throttle pedal, the other end has a small arm that pulls the throttle rod from the rear. The clevis pin in the small arm protrudes to the left. A throttle return spring hooks in a grove in the clevis pin, the other end goes to a small lug on the floor.

Thanks Lynn. I was able to get the two castings from Brian A. and that told me rod dia., but that is as far as I got. Arm lengths off the jack shaft would be great.

Here you go.

Lynn,

That information is a huge help. I am sure others will also benefit from it in the future. Your description and pics make it apparent to me how the forked end holds the roller but I am still confused about one thing. On the back of the pedal there are two angle pcs with one side of each having a large oval. Does the arm/roller of the ½” jack shaft do anything with the ovals? I had assumed that the roller would some how be inside the ovals. Now it looks as if the ovals have no purpose and the roller rides on the back of the pedal between the angle pcs. Is that the case? Sorry to be a pain.

Thanks,

The clevis pin that holds the roller in the arm, also goes through the slots in the pedal. I guess it stops the top of the pedal falling back toward the driver.

Hi carrier folks. I had some success in fabricating my accelerator jack shaft thanks largely to the information Lynn posted above. I have one more question though. My carrier project did not have a bulkhead when I started. I made mine with pictures and dimensions I received from other forum guys. After going through the thousand or so pictures I have collected over the last couple of years I don’t seem to have a single one that shows where the accelerator push rod goes through the bulkhead. I have a rectangular slot next to the round hole for the hand start handle but do both the clutch rod and accelerator rod both use it or am I missing a hole? Any pictures and greatly appreciated and thank you all for the help.
