markaluge Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Hi Chaps, Fitting the accelerator lever assembly (pt no 106753) onto the accelerator arm with the engine in place has not been easy. In hindsight I would have dry fitted it before fitting all of the pedals, but hey ho I am where I am. I know the the holes in the assembly and the accelerator arm should align and that would give me the correct position to marry up with the linkage, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. Would someone mind taking a photo of their assembly lever which shows the angle that it is at without any pressure on the pedal? I hope that makes sense. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

markaluge Posted March 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Thanks all, very helpful. I’m not sure that I will be able to get the lever right up against the bulkhead, but it is less than a cm away and the linkage will be okay, however at the moment it is far too long.

Well spotted Stuart. I never have been able to get the boot slotted in to place, I put it down to the fact it is a pattern part and not quite right. Also, looking at the photos reminds me that I need to change the back nut on the manifold for a brass one. Ralph.
