They are missing because if you still have them, you must have the gas pedal
so high up you get a cramp in your ankle if you ever drive your Tiger.
If you remove the stop you can adjust the pedal down to the level of the brake
pedal, now you can "heel and toe" (actually "roll foot") and not get a cramp
anymore. AND, you won't break the throttle cable... IF you make a pull rod to
replace that... or have a little self-control and stop pushing when the pedal
stops going down...
Its amazing to me that the throttle pedal position IS adjustable but that stop
only
mounts in one position, so therefore it's not adjustable...

Hi Randy Yes is mounted on top of the vinyl/carpet and I suspect that is
why so many are missing. You have to locate those 2 10/32 weld nuts through
the carpet to it in the regular position. Dave Thank you for the
nice compliment. Al
