Here are some photos of the cable throttle pedal.

With adjustable stops the height and length of the pedal can be set so the pedal height relative to the brake pedal can be set as well as the travel of the pedal.

The amount of cable movement can then be set by selecting different positions for the ball joints and cable fixing to suit the throttle body used to achieve full opening.

A spring can also be used between the body and pedal rod to assist pedal return if required.

Dave.

Looks better than the pilbeam efforts and invariably cheaper

[MrSimba]

Looking good Dave! Much prefer mine with the return spring fitted pedal to body, the pedal returns under the foot more positively with it

Is it too early to start a list?

[NickB787]

Standalone ecu time.

[TheRealVXed]

Oh... Guess you can't retro fit a throttle cable to the existing TB and ECU then?

[NickB787]

Not to the existing TB you would need a new cable one, as to the ecu I not certain need to look at the wiring and see if you could adapt the oem plug wires for the new throttle position sensor and what wires are left over

Chances are it'd have a proper hissy fit unless you made lots of fun contraptions to make it think the ETB and Pedal were still OEM parts.... Easier to drop in a DTA/Omex/Motec/MBE etc

[siztenboots]

you'd have to move the pedal sensors to the TB end mounted to a suitable cam arrangement, remove the servo motor but retain the motor position sensor. Then mechanically set it all up.

don't say DTA just sold mine....
omex,Motec well

Sounds like a right PITA. Long live electricity!

[siztenboots]

yes, then the ecu thinks the throttle is stuck because the commanded % position doesn't match with what its seeing so it goes in to limp mode

[slindborg]

Or is flowing more air than the throttle opening says is possible and goes into limp lol

[speedster]

Are these for sale anywhere?

[Dave H]

Yes they are for sale, I just need to come up with a firm price. I will post as soon as I have worked it out! Dave

[speedster]

Great! I'll have one of those! I have an Emerald ECU waiting to hook up. With the intake and exhaust mods the car runs lean at high RPM. I have a Apexi AFC inline on the map sensor circuit which helps some but it's a not an ideal solution as I have to max out the sensor input to get anywhere near a good burn. Be great to tune the car correctly.

[TheHood]

Sorry to be a pain, but bump! Any update on pricing?

[speedster]

Hi Dave. Did you fix a price for the throttle pedal yet?

[Duncan VXR]

Speaking to Dave in the morning and will mention it DG

[FLD]

Thats an awesome piece of work  I particularly like the punch / swaged holes.
