Hi Guys, I need to size the accelerator pedal wheel as mine is missing, the new pedal came in the box though
Looks to be about 3/4" round x 1/4" thick, shaft is 6.3mm , I'll make one up for the meantime, if someone could measure theirs and post it up.

:cheers: Bob

Same as this one off a 69

Cool, Thanks Fred, I have some white plastic/nylon off gullitoine guides, so I can make one up tonight, it will do for the meantime, just printed off the original picture to scale it off before I read this.

Hey just out of interest, since you had your car on the ELKO Calendar, do you know Des S? , I met him when he came over for the R/T 6pack Club Nats a couple of years ago. He's fairly well known in the group, I even brought a factory style VH R/T bonnet scopp off him a few years ago.
I had a couple of wheel studs break in my Pacer on the Club big weekend run and we had to go on a mission to find some. He brought some of their gear out to sell, it looked the part too. Good rooster in my book.  :yesnod:

I sure do. I worked at Elko for about a year fixing all those crap mopars they imported from the States, had a lot of fun driving them about including those magnificent  SRT10 Rams. Nearly bought a 71 yellow road runner for the Mrs but she decided to stick with her Corvette in the end. 
It was a fun time. Des joined Elko  just as I was leaving. He doesn't work there anymore.  I knew him before that though.
