    Any Ideas for a Throttle Pedal for Cable operated Throttle body?

    I'm working on a GTM for a customer who just purchased a stand-alone EFI system that has no provisions for the throttle-by-wire.....it has a cable operated throttle body. Anyone here familiar with a throttle pedal that is similar in shape/size/construction to the 'Vette throttle pedal, but cable operated?.....so it might mount in the same basic way and end up in the same basic position as the Vette pedal?

    Lokar has a good selection. Have used them in hot rods and F bodies which mount on a standoff. Scott

    I used a Russ Thompson (site donor) pedal in my roadster, you could see if he'd loan you one to test fit. It's designed to clamp to the roadster frame but looks easy to modify.

    Thanks, guys! I'm on bodywork duty for a while and probably won't tackle this project until the bodywork is done and I pull the body off the chassis, so it will be a while.

    The last LS that used a throttle cable were the 6 speed Z/28's and Trans Am's from the 4th generation that ended in 2002.
    You can find one on Ebay pretty easily.
    Also, a gas pedal assembly from a 3rd generation Camaro or Firebird or C-4 Corvette are also possible options.
    Hope this helps and if it doesn't sorry for cluttering up your thread.

    Try these guys, they should be able to make a cable specifically for your needs:

    They specialize in motorcycles, but as far as I know they can make any throttle cable you need.
