[TR] Accelerator Shaft Bearing/Bushing

[Ibsen Dow]

Hi Bob,
I re-did my accelerator shaft & bearing assy last fall on my TR3. I had the
carpet out of the way. I had to install the nylon bearings loosely on the
shaft after you thread the accelerator pedal into engine compartment.
Then you can tighten down the nylon bushing holders to the firewall.
The hardest part I had, was when I powder-coated the accelerator shaft and
made the diameter of the shaft thicker. I then had to grind down the inside
dia. of the brass bushing that is used to hold the accelerator shaft in place
& keep it from sliding.
There was no problem with dia of the nylon bushing, only the brass bushings.

  I've heard horror stories about installing these nylon shaft bearings #19
  (http://tinyurl.com/yvq8qf) so I was very pleased when they went in without
  too much trouble. The problem now is getting the accelerator shaft back
  through them as there isn't enough room in the driver's foot well to
  accommodate the length of the shaft. Before I start tearing things apart,
  does removing the interior carpeted panel free up room or do I have to
  remove the bearing from the car, slide it over the shaft and work it back
on
  to the car once the shaft is in place?

  Thanks

  Bob
