Why not just screw a wooden (or other material) wedge to the top of the
pedal, rather than playing with the linkage?

|
|I'm looking at modifying the gas pedal linkage so I can get
|more cable action with less ankle action (I'm the guy with the
|fused right ankle).
|
|Bentley page 20.23 shows the relevant bits.
|
|Can someone tell me how the lower end of the Push Rod is
|captured in the upper hole of the Relay Lever?
|
|I have the cover off and am peering at the assembly and it
|just kind of looks like the end of the push rod is all kind of
|mashed and mooshed there. Can the two parts be easily
|separated or is it some kind of factory squeeze job?
