OZM29C Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 A Weasel owner over on the Weasel FB forum asked for some photos of the Accelerator mod that I have retrofitted to my weasel. I thought that I would capture the information here on this forum first in the hope that future weasel restorers can use this information as a reference. The first photo shows a comparison between a modified accelerator pedal and an OEM accelerator pedal. Top pedal is OEM, bottom pedal has been modified. I have also posted a copy of the MWO that came with my mod kit. MWO ORD G179-W9.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZM29C Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 Second photo partially shows the cut-out that I have made in the drivers side air deflector panel and the linkage rod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZM29C Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) The next photo shows the cut-out made in the ventilator lid. Edited May 24, 2022 by OZM29C correct spelling error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZM29C Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 The next photo shows the cut-out made in the instrument panel and the modified bell crank support. The OEM bell crank is re-used in this mod. Disregard the accelerator return spring and bracket. I relocated these for ease of access. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZM29C Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 Here you can see the linkage rod cover plate fitted to the instrument panel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZM29C Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Finally I had to drill a hole in the instrument panel to allow the accelerator connection rod to pass through. I got the hole location a bit off centre so I had to elongate the hole. The modified accelerator assembly works great. Cheers.

D.R.H. Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I have to give you props OZ for generating this post! I haven't started any work on my Weasel yet, but I gather this modification is to eliminate the pesky throttle cable system to something less troublesome. Yes? Thanks for the PDF of the W.O. too by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
