I recently acquired a ‘30 Roadster PU that had the hand throttle linkage removed. I have the throttle rod in the column and the 6” control rod to the pivot in the engine bay.
However I’m having difficulty determining the remaining link to the throttle pedal rod.
Can anyone either provide a couple photos of your linkage, or a source for a parts diagram ?

Also it has a Fulton accelerator pedal, that is pulled up by the return spring and away from the accelerator button. This causes your foot to get in between and under the pedal. Is there supposed to be an attachment between the pedal and the button, so they stay together ? There is a small loop on the bottom of the pedal, but again I haven’t found anything indicating a way to link them. Is the button supposed to be replaced with an eye to link them ?

These new fangled vehicles are just too complicated ! ��

Thanks for your input.
