Default Pedal Plate

As it turns out, today not quite so CMP free as I had originally thought

Once I got home from Brisbane this evening, I found myself an indoors project to do while watching Heartbeat. Decided to reassemble the accelerator parts on pedal plate.

Once the throttle linkages are in place, the accelerator pedal sits nearly in the vertical position when returned by the linkage spring. Is this normal? I have sought of figured that if it is, there must be another mechanical 'stop' somewhere from here to carburetor that holds this in a more reasonable position.

As you can see from the photos, I still need to find the other two plates that go over clutch & brake lever holes.

Would I be correct in believing that the absent cover part for clutch & portion of steering column is one combined piece?

If you have either of these bits for sale (or a correct accelerator stop rubber), I would love to hear from you. It will save me a lot of running around. At my age, that's important!
