Re: Throttle Cable route - 1980 RHD

Post by **pistachio** » 29 Mar 2011, 13:51

Hello
We've just yanked out the old throttle cable, which was laid through some old rubber fuel line, and are going about fitting a new cable and housing.
The van is a 1980 RHD, but I can't for the life of me work out where the accelerator cable runs after it comes through floor at the front. It looks as though it would run straight through the middle of the front suspension, but this can't be right. Does anyone have any experience here? Or could take a few quick photos of the underside of their bus please?

Thanks

It runs through a hard plastic sheeth which can be seen in the wheel arch on its way to the over petrol tank area tunnel. There are also some clips which hold it in place. I'm LHD now so may be different but thats how I remember my RHD to be. but I cant remember the exact route

We've had a read of the wiki, but it's up the front that we were having trouble.

Thanks for letting us know it's visible from the front wheel arhces, we've run it through now and are fairly happy with it's route.

Could you just confirm whether the outer goes over the front suspension or under?

What a result!

A new throttle cable and we've suddenly discovered a 50% BHP increase...! It's like a new vehicle.

Thanks for your advice hacksawbob.
