Throttle pedal question
I have been fitting my luego pedals the last couple of days and was wondering if anyone has any tips/clues/pics on how they did the return spring and
what the end of the throttle cable looks like/how it fits the pedal assembly.
pic here
cheers,
Ned.
beware, I've got yellow skin

Hi Ned.
I'm in the same place as you ;-)
my mate drilled a fine hole through the bar with a dremmel and attached one.
But I'm too shaky for that - me thinks :p
Cheers,
Murray

There are pics in my archive of this... Look under the Luego Demonstrator section. I took LOADs of piccies to help me with my build.. definately got
the throttle pedal in there.
My return spring is on the carb end of the cable. Also drill through the upright bracket, and put a Large bolt and a nut either side of the bracket,
to make a nice adjustable pedal stop.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

best thing to do for holding the cable is drill a hole and buy a go kart throttle kit
its basically a U piece of metal with a slot around it that the cable sits in
you then drill a hole through the bottom of the pedal and fit a clevis pin or nut and bolt not tight through the U piece so that it can have movement
up and down allowing the cable to balance itself whilst moving forwards and backwards

Drilled a hole through mine in line with the outer cable hole , enlarged inner end of hole so that nipple end of cable fit. Then cut a slot from top
of pedal so that cable slid down into hole . When cable was installed put a piece of heatshrink over top to stop cable coming out .
