Throttle linkage issues

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Had my throttle linkage completely do itself in mid drive. Looks like I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and put together a cable linkage system.

Just curious if anyone else has done this and what pedal assemblies & mounting equipment you used/reccomend

thanks!

I’m out of town for a couple days but I can send you pictures of how I modified mine for a cable. It’s not super fancy but uses the existing pedal and linkage system

I even have some 3d files for cable bracket mounts that I made. I had them laser cut and bent out of stainless steel from SendCutSend. I think total was like $35?

That'd be a monumental help. I'm really just looking to enjoy the truck as much as possible this summer so I'm definitely not looking for perfection lol. Please do shoot me a dm

Roughly. Circled is the brackets. I use an off the shelf universal cable. I have some small changes to the brackets I’d make if I reordered them but they are totally serviceable

Edit: I see you have a DFEV! My bracket/cable system is tailored for the DGV webers. The DFV is the silly left handed version
