Gas Pedal To Throttle Linkage Setup

Anybody with an fc able to post a pic of how the gas peddle sets up with the throttle cable?

Nothing in the fsm.

 

Did you find any info on this yet?

 

nope. and i need to....
i will take a pic of whats there, maybe someone can post a sketch or propose an idea.

 

This is what is on my 57 FC 170

 

Can you take a few more pictures from farther back? So I can see the whole set up?

 

I think it goes. The inside rod with a cable on actually goes under the body where the tunnel is? And the outside portion of the pedal would be the gas pedal inside the cab?

Just spitballing here...

Of course, there is no slot or hole in the floor to support my theory

 

You can see the wire going over the radiator flange. It goes in a straight line from it's attachment point on the accel rod to the linkage in the back.

 

The accelerator rod goes thru the floor, makes a 90 turn then another 90 turn up the side of the footwell. The accel wire is fastened to it and goes all the way straight back to the linkage by the manifold. It is like piano wire, not flexible cable. The accel rod has two 3/8" pipe straps that hold it to the underside of the floor and are bolted to a square reinforcing plate on the top of the floor. Midwest Willys should have the accel rod set up, I don't think any of the Jeep vendors will have it. I was not able find anywhere locally the 3/8" pipe straps and 1/2" won't do, way to much play in the rod. The wire goes thru a short piece of cable housing that has a strap wrapped around it to bolt it to whatever that bolt is over the fuel pump..

 

Here is pic of rod assembly on underside of floor. 4 Bolts thru straps also go thru reinforcing plate on top of floor. Two staggered bolts hold acell pedal to floor.

 

This is my drivers floor when it arrived. I used fiberglass to repair all the rust thru spots on the vehicle. easy to work with and won't rust.

 

Grainger has the 3/8" pipe straps if you can't find locally. I suspect McMaster-Carr does also.

 

Man, this is EXACTLY what I wanted!!!!

Now, to fab up a gas pedal....

 

The gas pedal and bracket are available from about everybody. The bent accel rod not. Midwest Willys has a lot of used parts and should have this. I got the 3/8 straps and square reinforcing plate from them. They also sent a gas pedal but it was wrong. The accel rod just rides/rubs on the back of the gas pedal so it is important they match up

 

FC specific?

Looks like an ECJ5 pedal/mount

 

Turns out, those 3/8" straps are hard to find in heavy duty. Everything local is flimsy aluminum or copper for electrical/plumbing....so close....

 

so, i dont quite like the metal on metal strap, so i am printing 2 of these to sandwich together, to then bolt to a plate inside the cabin. the F only indicates front, since its a little more narrow than than long. 5/16" bolts.

solid printed carbon fiber.
1/2" thick.

the through in the middle is for the small tang on the pedal rod that prevents it from shifting side to side when its installed.

 

We need a library for part models like these.
