Ok here's how I made my accelerator pedal. Blogger for some reason put all the pics backwards on the page so go to the bottom of this post and work your way up.

Here's the completed pedal, with the link bar attached via the clevis, pin and clip.


This is the link bar - made from a length of M10 threaded bar, welded to a flat plate with a 10mm hole to pick up the cable, screwed into a suitable clevis from the donor. The threaded bar gives me an extra degree of adjustment in the throttle cable. A locknut will be added on final fitment.

Here's the pedal all welded up.

I made a pedal pad from 1.5mm plate, and welded a smaller piece of 3mm plate to the back of it to add strength.




The first step was to weld an 8" length of 3mm flat bar to a crank that was part of the brake force transfer rod in the donor BMW
