Front accelerator cable sleeve

Post by boatbuilder »

Could anyone do me a big favour and climb under their van and get a picture of this area behind the accelerator pedal?
My cable seems to be binding as it exists the plastic sleeve and when I press the accelerator the plastic sleeve rams itself into that metal bracket.
