Throttle Cable

Post by surrealjam » Tue Dec 02, 2008 7:16 pm

Hi all

Not sure if this is in the correct place to post this, but I am looking to adjust the throttle cable. I want the pedal in the car to be lowered - it currently sits at the same height at the brake pedal and I feel that at cruising speeds, my leg is strained.

If I understand the basic operation of the cable, I must take up some extra slack (i.e. shorten) the cable to achieve this. If this is the case, what's the easiest way to go about this?

Many thanks,
James
