Im trying to install a m accelerator linkage and the pieces won’t reach each other?
My ‘78 forty came with a rather sketchy throttle linkage put in by the PO. It finally bit the dust, left me and the kids stranded, but eventually got home and resolved to Fix It Right!
I got a pedal and full linkage from fellow New Englander @cruiserland, then set about install. Managed to destroy the adjustable accelerator rod and got a quick replacement from @ToyotaMatt. Thank you!
But now the real fail: the gas pedal seems to stick out too far and too low? I’ve been searching pics of other pedals for hours. Some seem very similar, some not at all.
Before I try bending the pedal upward to reach the adjustable rod am I missing something???
