Default Converting to drive by cable?

Anyone done a conversion to drive by cable? I know what's involved just looking for tips, pointers, and if there's maybe a pedal assembly that's close to fitting or a bolt in and done deal (highly doubt that).

I have one since I am running the fast xfi. Pm your # and will send some pics tommorow. I currently have the dash out so I should have some good pics. I think I modified a camaro pedal to make it work. It was about 10 years ago.

It would be cool to see a write up for this project. Even if just a short description of what is needed and where to source the parts.

Will do, it'll be a while yet, it's a winter project, currently tearing the car down. Getting the car to the basics, doing manual brakes, manual steering, drive by cable setup, and a solid rear axle and a Holley HP for a pcm. Just getting info & seeing what others have done with a few things.
