Lokar Throttle Pics
With the help of C3 Shark Tank and tsw71 to name just 2, I installed this set up. I'm proud to say I didn't swear like C3 said I would. :D
The one thing I did differently, was I drilled out :smash: the stock metal eyelet washer under the dash and used it with the new set up. This piece has a screw that holds it nicely to the firewall. You can only see the head in this pic.
I didn't remove the gas pedal, but elected to chop up the old cable to get it out. The new stuff went in pretty simply.
The pedal feels right and the linkage moving smoothly. :cheers:

The part numbers are in the thread. Prices at Summit. Maybe $60 total?

I use a Lokar on mine, but I used the stock plastic black cup on the throttle cable at the gas pedal. Looks great.
