need to make one up or adapt off another car thats a suitable size or buy an aftermarket one thatll fit. is yours the later version or the older double linkage? the later ones you can just mod/change the accelerator cable to suit.

oh just remembered ive got a modded pedal from my sedan - you can run a cable straight to carb. youll need to mount it weld etc to the car though but it was a good fit. got a spare accellerator cable somewhere too
yeah older linkage is pretty Barry Whiteed lol. i cut all that nuts off and just had the accelerator running straight off the pedal

If you can, have a look at a post '80 setup, it's similar to the earlier one but runs the cable from the pedal, not that ***ing stupid relay rod arrangement.

nah not gonna use it. got a couple of different accelerator cables. one should be able to mount onto your efi manny i think. just the ball end type to throttle linkage. dont know what its worth but i can bring it over and see how it all links up. you still in glen eden?

I used either a Piazza or a Gemini pedal in mine, can't remember exactly which one but I got it off Burntrubber 4 years ago, perhaps he might remember? haha
In should, a lot of stuff would probably fit, I modded it quite a bit to get it sitting right, just bending/tweaking etc, can maybe get pics if that would be helpful?

My build thread says I used a Gemini pedal and just a generic Nissan throttle cable. The pedal fit well and I just put a new hole in the firewall in the appropriate spot and made up a small plate to hold the throttle cable.
