Accelerator linkage info req'd

20vcqdriver · 18-09-11, 11:12 PM

Whilst out with quattrokid Richie tonight the accelaerator suddenly dropped to the floor and assumed the cable had just come off the throttle body but no such luck, crawled under pasenger side and removed ECU to have this part drop out along with the remains of a rubber bush. Does anyone have any pics of how this linkage is connected? Doubt spares are availbale so looks like I might need to get my design engineers head on....

OK at work today and found this info. Looks like the 2 rubber bushes have just disintegrated with age. Now to find if they are still available or if I can find something here at work that will work just as well....

My 20V did the same. I managed to pop mine back in and lash it together with a cable tie to get me home (it stayed like that for a few months TBH

).
The rubber/foam bushes seem to gradually perish and then the linkage falls apart

. It's worth checking everybody

.

Yes, still available

. Perhaps we should start a list of Bloody Hell They Are Still Available parts (BHTASA), rather than the glass in half empty NLA list.
