Stupid plastic parts
The little peice of plastic that holds the throttle cable to the pedal broke off tonight after only being on ther for a couple months. I had to vice grip the cable to the pedal to get it home so its not moving til I get another little thingy. Does anyone know if any companies make a metal one that won't snap off after a little while? Does anyone know the part I'm talking about?

Can you use Gorilla Glue to glue it back on ? Man that stuff will do anything.

No the plastic thing is totally trashed. I could glue the cable to the pedal maybe but I dont really want to do that because it could come loose.

I bought a universal throttle cable from AutoZone and came with a metal piece that you're talking about.

Yeah I think it cost $15.00 or so. I had to get a universal kit due to the different carb from stock.
