"there is also a
throttle stop on the top of the tunnel consisting of a small
bolt with a lock
nut threaded into a welded nut underneath as well" This I
have but the pedal stop is new for me. The picture is very helpful, Dave.
Thanks.
After 18 years of Tiger ownership, I can still learn new things.
This list (of course, I mean the Tiger community) is great. Thank you!
Randy
P.S. For those of you that noticed my earlier misspelling of device, mea
culpa.

Randy:
It wasn't
until I recently installed a new
interior that I discovered the two holes
with welded nuts beneath on my tranny
tunnel. I had an email from coolVT -
Mark L who pointed out that there is also a
throttle stop on the top of the
tunnel consisting of a small bolt with a lock
nut threaded into a welded nut
underneath as well.
If you are a relaxed driver who seldom puts the
pedal
to the medal, you are not likely to ever suffer a stretched or worse,
broken
throttle cable or carb linkage. But if you are want to occasionally smoke
the
tires or hammer the throttle, passing a line of slugs, then its wise to have
one of these, properly adjusted, so the worst you can do to the linkage is
mash
the rubber stop. I admire your restraint!
Here's a photo of the one I
made - installed
over the vinyl:
All the best,
Dave
