Beat me to it

 

You want something like a big bolt screwed into the floor pan so that the throttle pedal hits it and can't go any further

When fitting a throttle stop for WOT , try and limit the travel of your pedal , because all you will be doing if the stop is on the bodies is stretching the cable and putting undue load on it .

 

i had this problem, i put my foot down too hard and snapped the cable im now abit lighter with the right foot

I'll have to look at it again, going to sort the idle stop and return spring first off so I can actually use it. On WOT it's now only just above horizontal, so nothing major.

 

The pedal travel isn't much now, so adding a pedal stop will make it worse - better to work out a cable/linkage system that is similar to OE.

you need the cable to be further away frm the pivot, ideally going round a circular guide that has the same radius as the distance from the pivot, to keep the cable pulling in a linear rate.

 

(though you may alkready have that, I havent seen your current setup)

 

The way to calculate the distance of the cable from the centre of the pivot is quite straightforward.

 

measure the desired pedal travel, multiply it by 4, then divide with pye.

 

Which If i remember my school maths correctly that gives you the radius at which to position the cable stop.

 

hope that makes sense!!!

Pivot of the pedal, or of the throttle cam on the bodies?

[welshpug 1,622]

AH! I forgot the pedal :doh: I guess to do it properly do both!
