Bordfunker Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I'm currently stripping the bulkhead of my 1200 Herald back to bare metal to check for corrosion. I've removed the wiper motor, clutch and brake master cylinders, but am struggling to remove the accelerator cable. I've withdrawn the brass bush attached part way up the cable, but can't get the peice that attaches to the pedal through the hole in the bulkhead. Is there a trick I am missing?

Colin Lindsay Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 The inner cable is simply bolted to the carb so if you undo this end it will slide through the outer cable back inside the car, or if fitting attach to the pedal and then push the inner back through the outer from inside until it reaches the carb connection. The cable should push through the hole in the bulkhead but yours may be non-standard or modified, so this method will work instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordfunker Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Great thinking! I didn't think about that at all. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 And if you need a replacement get a push bike brake cable, better made and cheaper, if its a rear you can make two , keep a spare in the tool roll may need a solderless nipple pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordfunker Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Thanks Pete. The original is in OK condition so will do for now. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
