[Spridgets] Unintended acceleration

[Biff Jones]

The solution I came up with after having the bugeye pedal linkage popping 
out to many times under hard acceleration was to remove the pedal assembly 
including the little arm from the stock firewall rod and then installing two 
1 1/2" diameter by 3/4" thick plastic wheels. I ran a small bolt through the 
first wheel then through the stock hole on the arm through the other wheel 
and secured it with a nylock nut. On the outside of the wheels and between 
the wheels and the rod I have a few washers so everything can be snugged up 
yet still have the wheels rotate. The plastic wheels were made from an old 
plastic cutting board. This also buys you about another inch in legroom to 
the go pedal. My fix has worked for years ...... YMMV
