Restore smooth, reliable throttle response to your classic air-cooled Volkswagen with this heavy-duty Accelerator Pedal Hinge Bracket. Over decades, original brackets often become "ovaled out," rusted, or snap due to metal fatigue, leading to a sloppy or sticking gas pedal.
Finished in a durable Silver Zinc Plating, this bracket is designed for longevity and corrosion resistance. It serves as the primary pivot point for the accelerator pedal, ensuring the pedal sweep is perfectly aligned with the throttle cable S-link.
Key Features
-
Precision Stamping: Manufactured to factory specifications for a perfect fit on early-style floor pans.
-
Corrosion Protection: Silver zinc plating prevents rust—essential for a part located on the floorboards where moisture and salt often collect.
-
Restore Safety: Eliminates pedal "wobble" and ensures your throttle returns to idle quickly and consistently.
-
Installation: This is a weld-on component (originally spot-welded to the floor pan), though it can be modified for bolt-on applications in custom builds.
