Project: Ginger

[lolife99]

I needed to finish my Lokar gas pedal cable install.
Since I have no welding skills I fabbed up a cable adapter for the Lokar cable.
This will connect to the 71-72 pedal assembly that I installed with Rokcrln's LFD Gas Pedal Adapter.

It worked great,... but I found out the stock 71-72 plastic gas pedal bushing is wore out.
Seems like there is always something I need to order,... no matter how well I plan ahead.
Finished the door gasket install.
Spent the rest of the night screwing with my shop air compressor.
The check valve is bad,... so I need to order that now.
(I finally start doing something and the air compressor craps out)

I have the plain black universal Lokar cable.
The adapter I machined at work.
A 5/16"x 5/8" bolt works perfect in the gas pedal hole.

Since I had no way to weld a loop to it,... so I machined that adapter at work from some 5/8" round stock.
I drilled a 3/16" hole in it to accept the pin from the Lokar adapter.

Some people heat and twist the oem gas pedal rod.
(or cut and reweld the end 90 degrees from original)
Mine was already blasted and painted,... so I had to do something else.

No.
We don't get much machine time at work.
