Colin,
If G-d had meant roadsters to have easily operated tops he would never have
invented the English. They did have decent 'Drop Head Coupes', but then
those aren't really sports cars. What you need is some of that new Spandex
top material. {9->
But, seriously, on your next matter.....

Walk, do not run, to your telephone and call Rick at Sunbeam specialties.
He sells the entire assembly (your outer sheath (nothing personal) is
probably pretty ratty by know anyway) and order one. The two lengths are
for 2 barrel (stock) and 4 barrel carbs. They must be longer for the 4
barrel, or you'll be putting tension in the cable at WOT and break it.
There is a neat little adjustable rubber stop and a clamped cable lever on
the accelerator pedal. Don't adjust the rubber stop, it's will work fine
against it's stops, but use it if the next step needs a little more help.
If you hold the throttle plates full open, and have a 'friend' crawl under
your dash an loosen the cable clamp bolt, floor the pedal to the rubber
stop, and tighten the cable holder, you'll get full throttle and no foot
load on the cable. Next time you 'floor it', the cable won't let go.
