Accelerator Pedal

The pedal didn't provide enough travel to fully open the throttle butterfly so I welded a piece of 3mm steel onto the pedal and also made a clevis out of 3mm plate and some nifty welding to allow for the rotation of the pedal.

Slightly tricky to see but there's the single strip of 3mm metal, roughly 12mm x 40mm with the first 10mm of it welded to one side of the top of the pedal, a 5mm hole in the top of that strip, a clevis which is really just a U-shape made from 3mm strip, all linked together with an M5 cap head and washers to space it out.

Throttle

After another lull in posting, we have some more progress to report!

Throttle cable action - used a bike brake cable, the barrel shaped nipple on the cable fitted into the original Saab throttle linkage. At the other end a cable nipple from ebay was purchased. The threaded adjuster is off an old bike brake lever I had in my stock of bits and pieces I've hoarded in the garage. You never know when things come in handy!

The aluminium plate bolted onto existing holes in the throttle body, to provide a cable stop. Shaped with a hacksaw and files, from strips of aluminum and aluminium angle, then low-temp welded/brazed again.
