Hey Al! Nice piece, I broke several throttle cables trying to put the pedal to the metal before I found I was missing the stop. That solved the problem and I haven't had to get home on a shoelace since(literally).

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

Having restored a MkIa
back in the mid-90's, I never knew such a thing existed.  Frankly, I
haven't
had any pedal issues since it's been on the road, either. However, I don't
doubt the devise is valuable and has utility.


The picture on eBay shows it
attached directly to the tunnel.  With my repro-carpet kit, I have a
section
of vinyl on that area.  Is this devise intended to be attached over the
vinyl/carper area?

Thanks,

Well if there's a market someone will fill
it! During our conversation on the list about this essential but often lost part of the throttle system, I received an email from Al Washick who was in the process of reproducing these throttle stops, and he put one up on eBay
today:

They look better than the original, what with the powder coating and ss pan
head screws to boot. Too bad that when mounted, you can hardly see the
craftsmanship!

If you need one, here's your chance!
