Acc pedal problems

Post by vader »

Anyone got a fix for the dreaded rusted off Acc pedal? You know what I mean or must a draw a picture? :roll: :roll:

I put two (orange) roller blade wheels on the accelerator bracket to replace the pedal. It works like a charm, almost like the accelerator wheel of those old split/oval Beetles. The wheels roll under your foot when you step on the accelerator :wink:
