hi all after finishing my conversion i was not overly impressed with the power output but have had it pointed out to me today that the throttle cable is not opening the throttle body wide enough open it,s only opening it about a 1/3 of the way with the pedal righ to the floor any ideas how i can get round this please
thanks tony

is it a later bay? I increased the length of the arm where the cable meets at the cab end, increasing the leverage. I just adedd about 2 inches? and multi drilled so I could piss around with the positioning so I was getting adequate throttle. Not sure about an early bay though, should be something similar you can do but just remember they have a diff linkage
