[Healeys] Accelerator Pedal Cross Shaft

[Rich C]

I can say that the LH drive cars use one of those alloy brackets and the 3
screws and I recall on a number of cars these becoming totally seized over
the years because they are steel screws holding the alloy bracket casting.
Certainly the brass screws would be an improvement by solving the corrosion
problem there.

Subject: [Healeys] Accelerator Pedal Cross Shaft

G'day

 

Sydney in the spring and it's raining of course.

 

I have just removed the brake, clutch and accelerator pedals from the BN3.
It's a normal RHD 100 arrangement with the brake/clutch pedals pivoting on a
shaft, but the clutch is hydraulic. The accelerator pedal is also standard,
but I am curious about the fasteners holding the accelerator cross shaft to
the driver's floor.

 

There are two brackets that the accelerator shaft passes through and each of
these is attached to the floor by three brass straight slot screws, brass
washers, shakeproof washers and brass nuts.

 

You wouldn't know what's original with my car, but I am wondering if the
brass fasteners are original on standard four-cylinder cars?
