Throttle Mount

As the Duratec uses a drive by wire throttle linked to the ECU, I needed to mount the throttle pedal body somewhere near the existing pedal box. After seeing what other builders had done, I elected to suspend the throttle pedal body on aluminum plate off the back of the pedal box. This took 2.5 attempts to get a mount I was happy with, as the angle and left/right position of the bracket, and the pedal on the bracket is crucial. To far right and the throttle connector fouls the pedal box and frame. To far left and the brake will hit the throttle (ok for heel and toe I guess!).


I also fabricated up from 3mm angle a pedal cover for the throttle which is bolted through the old plastic throttle lever. All of these pieces are bolted up temporarily until I am happy with the position. In sitting in the car I now find the pedal reach is to far, which is ok as I moved the pedal box one adjustment forward....so I guess I am now moving it back one adjustment.


So with the throttle mounted.....I may be able to drive it now?!?!?!?!?!?
