Collidog Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Noticed that the throttle cable ‘stay’ as it enters the pedal box is quite loose.Should there be a corresponding part that it clips into on the inside of the pedal box:Thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 No ... just tension of throttle return spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Kay Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 There's a reply to your earlier question.JonathanPS: Did you ask again because you couldn't see it in "New and Updated"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpy the 7th Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Just incase you didn't see the last replies,The stay is a bayonet type fixing, so you could try twisting the flat wings on the outer part of it to see if the body latches into the housing. Also as SM25T says adjust from the throttle body adjuster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collidog Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Thanks all. Turning it does not enable it to bite on to the pedal box housing. As SM25 said - seems to be held there by the cable tension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve osbaldeston Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I drilled a small hole and put in a self tapping screw just into the metal housing that it sits in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR400D Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I’ve seen lots that are loose. Common solution is a blob of silicone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Riches Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 It may not "click" as you have some sort of sheet metal edge protection / grommet in the hole, if the channel for the fitting is only sheet metal wide I would remove the grommet, it may then click into place. Just a thought.Nigel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Pull it back, superglue, get wife / partner to sit in car for 5 minutes with foot on throttle pushed down (cup of tea / glass of wine). SORTED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 It's not broken... it doesn't need fixing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revilla Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Agreed. They are all like that. It may seem odd but it works. Leave it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
