The time has come to attempt a connection for the accelerator pedal. When I got the car, there was no pedal, so I have nothing to work from in determining how to reconnect it.

I have the following bits:



Now - in this photo, we can see slightly better that I've got to attach the rubber bung to the pedal somehow. There's a tang inset on the pedal - do I push the rubber onto this?



Presumably it's the same for the hinge at the base?

Thanks! Ben

It's been a while since i've had a car with this set-up; the larger plastic 'bearing' just presses into the bottom of the pedal, IIRC.

[useless trivia] the bearing used to cost £2.16 +vat back in 1998 & were available off the shelf from my friendly local Citroen dealer! [/useless trivia]

I got quite good at re-attaching the pedal to the floor bearing after it had 'slipped' off. Usually at the most inopportune moments!

On my car the top rubber is clamped tightly by the sides and the tags, the bottom, as Neil says, is just pressed in.

Thanks Neil and Russ.

Ah - I guess I need to bend the tags out and then bend them back to grab the rubbers.

I remember my dads aks400 used to pop the pedal off all the time too. What's more, I also remember going with him to a scrappy and getting a replacement pedal off a drum brake 2cv. Don't recall having to tour any scrapyards to find a 2cv in it. That was probably 1990 or so?

I'll see if I can take a pic, give me 5

Hope this clears it up.









looks slightly different to yours, but fitting appears to be the same.

HTH

Perfect - thanks Russ! That is exactly what I needed to know.

I'll add that to the tally of cold beers I owe you
