Thanks PJ! All my pals that saw the first ones today think I need to downsize them to 7/8ths scale, I think they may be right. #1 will go in the tudor or lakester however. I like them.

Really nice work Trent. Patternmaking is no joke and that result is excellent especially since you're a beginner. Have one on me and I hope you do well with the venture. :cheers:

Trent, do you have a pivot that's goes with the pedal, center or heel attachment. Or is this something the buyer has to make.Just wondering. :cheers:

  I used a similar petal on my blown 55 chev gasser in the early sixties also used a hydraulic throttle with it, worked great with easy hookup.

I have a pivot setup that will work midway as a rocker or on the heel for a bottom pivot. Bolt on steel bracket with oilight bushings. I think I will sell it as a kit so it can be modded to fit the owners needs. May also offer the pedal bare for folks that want to bolt them to an oem style gas pedal.

On a similar note, how are lakesters and liners like Vescos running the throlle from front to the rear engine? I have mine roughed out in my head but would like to compare.

We  run a Morse cable on both cars, the can be made push or pull and any length. On my dragster and lakester I used hydraulic. both work well for difficult routing. I also used a hydraulic clutch master and slave on the lakester.Hydraulic systems need a bleed port ,like a brake bleeder to get the air out

Glen, wayno, thanks. I am using a Hydro clutch so I have that covered. Cable in a tube or morse cable was the plan for the throttle.

The Morse cable or something similar is the way to go if you want to use a cable. With that assembly the toe loop becomes functional because you can push with the cable assembly if for some reason the throttle loses interest in returning.  :roll: :roll: :evil:
