Anybody convert their throttle linkage over from the rod to a cable? What's the best way to go? Any pictures?

I switched to all LOKAR stuff. Throttle, TV, and dipsticks. My link should be in the sig

Mike,

Was the install pretty straight forward? How did it hook up on the gas pedal side?

By the way, what seats are those??? They look great!

Thanks Chad. The seats are SCAT Procar seats. They weigh 13 lbs ea. A friend bought them for his full race Gia @ $599 ea. Never used them and sold em to me for $150 ea. graemlins/thumbsup.gif
The Lokar setup bulkheads to the firewall easily. The only thing is you have to modify the gas pedal By welding a piece of metal about 4" long to it for the end of the cable to attach to. I can take a pic if you decide to go this way. It works great and is very smooth.

Hehehe...I just noticed the seats in are your signature. redface.gif

If you can send me the pics from the pedal side that would be great. Whenever you get a chance.

I think most of the 68-9 Firebirds and 6 cylinder Camaro’s used a cable linkage. That would be the easiest way to change it over.
