I built mine, using a billet aluminum pedal from Moon equipment which I had
to modify extensively to mount. Then I used a high quality push-pull cable
that I had made up here in portland by Oil Filter Specialties. but they use
the standard pieces that the cable company provides--you can probably get
them made in many places. I sourced the cable from one of the "____ to win"
books that probably everyone has. I think it was Engineer to Win, but it
could have been any of them.
I like the push-pull capability very well--especially after I screwed up my
carb linkage return spring setup during a rushed in-the-pits engineering
session so that it went over center when pressed hard against the stop. I
just hooked my toe under the pedal and Presto. I actually finished the race
(which says more about my stupidity than the efficacy of the cable.

Subject: Gas Pedal
Amici, as I slowly reassemble my TR3 vintage racer, hoping to make Mid Ohio,
a thought occurred to me: perhaps this is a good time to install a decent
gas
pedal/linkage/cable setup. However, as I checked my normal catalog sources,
Racer Wholesale, Pegasus, etc., I came up empty handed. So my question is,
any of you have experience with a good quality, racing gas pedal in a TR?
What's the brand, where did you get it, and any suggestions on
installations?
Any and all ideas appreciated. Thanks. John Harkness
