I plan to use the gas pedal assembly from my scrap '68 Spitfire on my '61
Herald coupe. I think it will be a "bolt in" except drilling a couple of
holes in the bulkhead for the cross shaft to go through (like a TR6 throttle
pedal). That funky bicycle brake cable throttle has to go!
BTW, I am scrapping a '68 spit...ex-scca racer. It has a roll bar and some
other nice parts email me off-list if you need anything. The floors and
frame are particularly nice.
