Modified accelerator pedal

[Matt Wright]

Hi guys
My truck has a modified accelerator pedal - not the good type of mod either! It's been cut and welded to be right left to the brake pedal and is a lot stiffer than it should be so it makes the drive harder than it should be

I don't have a spare truck here to compare it against, so please could someone let me know how different mine looks. Ie can it be easily changed or is a new one best? (Karl is looking for one for me but it would be great to check that that'll be an easy fix..)

The rusted section is where it's been cut and welded..

Thanks

Matt. Easy fix just unbolt the two ten mm bolts fit the new one and hey presto

You lost me here... Did a drill sergeant use to own it?

Am I imagining it, or do you have to "tramp down" on the pedal like some of the very old 3 ton trucks?

Sure looks like that from the photo to me; very peculiar.

Yes Olazz, it's very stiff!

But glad Karl answered I'll bring my tools and we can field fit your new one

Karl, you're a legend. New pedal fitted and works great - well, just as it should!
* Realised whilst fitting that the brake pedal was also modified so gotta change that too now!
