Not a Sixer myself, but just curious as to what the purpose was for providing a floor mounted throttle lever within inches of the gas pedal on the 914-6s?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

When I sold my factory six, I kept most all of the parts for my conversion car. The hand throttle is something I kept. If you'll look at ALL 914 shifter base, you'll see that it has a cut out on the right front side. The bodies are set up to use the hand throttle. All it takes is the parts. The accelerator lever, 914 423 260 00, has a "wing" on the side that the hand throttle rod contacts to press the pedal down. If I didn't have it on my conversion six, I'd want one. Anyone with a conversion six or even a four with carbs could mount one if they had the six hand throttle parts. In the pic, number 22 is the six lever and number 19 is the four. They are the same except for the "wing" that is on the six that the hand throttle rod contacts.
