Hi all.
It appears that my accelerator pedal has been sat in a reasonable amount of water at some point in its life and is now heavily corroded to the point of replacement/repair is required.
Does anyone have a good condition one that they'd be willing to part with please?
I've asked several sources to date, but with no luck thus far.

Best Regards
Matt

Hi everyone.
Many thanks as ever for the help and advice.
Yes, I have tried A@. First port of call as always for their help and expertise! Alas on this one off occasion the part was not a stock item.

Hi Terminator - I'm not in an immediate rush these next few weeks. I can wait until you return from your Canadian adventures, no problem, thank you very much!

Hmmm, mine doesn't look like that. Mine is floor mounted with coil spring.
Were they different on the early M's?
A@ sent me a great exploded view of it. I'll try and find a picture I have of mine and post....

It sure is! The coil spring has long since gone, hence the linear spring adaption.
The pivot spindle and seat are so worn and thin through corrosion, failure is imminent I'm sure.
Hence I am keen to replace it if possible.
It looks like there maybe some alternative adapted options open to me then.
I am desperate to drive it again...it's been 4yrs now other than a pootle around the block and on/off a flat bed during a house move!

Ha! If only I had read Lindon_Dodd's post on Friday...
I spent all weekend digging the internet to discover that the pedal assembly does indeed come from the Triumph Herald Vitesse...
..and that there are no pedals available new. The rest of the assembly is however available i.e. mounting bracket, spring, pin, rubber etc.
There are a couple I have found 2nd hand though thankfully! :-)
Thank you all for your inputs!!!
All very much appreciated indeed.

Hi Bert.
That would be great, thank you very much.
Some pictures would be good, but it sounds better than my modified one already.
I can buy spare bits for the mechanism, coil spring, pin etc.
