Pedals
Pedals
Have been doing the clutch cable today, and it turns out the problem was actually the pedals, the cable mount on the back of them has broken:
Has anyone got a spare set? Are they the same as other BXs, or specific to the 16v?
Cheers

I know the clutch cable was different for the 16vs which is why I thought the pedals might be - anyone know for definate?

Ther are two types of pedal boxes, the earlier ones have a spot welded clutch bracket which peels apart, the later is stronger, but the accelerator pedal is weak as Citronut points out.
Wouldn't bother with a spare set just get yours welded, that way it can be beefed up to prevent re-occurrance, and put a little strap accross to hold the accel flange square.

If you scroll down this page, you'll see a pic (it's the 7th last message) of a clutch pedal and a mod that cures it.
A problem that was quite common many moons ago.

Thats a clutch operating arm which is attached to the bell house, it's also the BE1 linkage.AlanS wrote:If you scroll down this page, you'll see a pic (it's the 7th last message) of a clutch pedal and a mod that cures it.

I guess it could factor into the pedal box problem, along with a dry/chaffed/rusty worn clutch cable, so might be worth checking, but i suspect that as csg has a ph2 (i think) then it's likely the car has a BE3 box which doesn't tend to suffer from this as it has an alternative actuation setup.
Thanks a lot mate!
