Broke the throttle on the six, need CSOB ideas Options

[djm914-6]

It's been a long time comming I suppose. The lever that the pedal pushes on has been tilting to the inboard until the throttle rod rests againts the floor board. Sometimes I'd attempt to bend it back, but most of the time I'd just del with the squeeking.

Well, there's no more squeek because the throttle lever of the pedal assemble broke off. I got the car home by bending he manual throttle lever just enough to catch the throttle cable end. I drove it by pulling back on the lever.

Now, I need some ideas. I know that the six lever isn't so common. What's the changes of having this one welded up and reattached to the pin that goes into the pedal assembly?

OK, here's the fun fact. Both quarters are braized to the rear panel (at least on the 5 chassis I've restored). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

once again, you are proving the point.

I know where the bronze is, I have restored a few.

Have you looked at the bubbling paint in the area...ever wonder why there and not somewhere else....like an inch to the left or right....

I actually asked several hotrod painters in my area, they all said the same thing...these guys collectively do quite a few cars each year...they all HATE bronze...as far as paint goes...they do use if for other things, but body work is not one of them...they found that it behaves differently than steel when it comes to paint...it does not stick the same, as well or not at all (depending upon the paint product)

Now, I am not a pro-painter by any stretch, but I want to keep away when told to do so.

I was offering Dave a FREE way to fix it...might not be the way it would get rebuilt by a pedal rebuilder, but it is FREE (which is part of the title to the thread) ...proper metal finishing and you could not tell the difference, unless there is supposed to be bronze showing...
