C8 progress in Texas

[David DeWeese]

Hi,
Had a nagging problem with the accelerator button position on my C8. Because of the foot pedal positions and tight floor space, I simply could not avoid depressing the accelerator while pushing in the clutch pedal. I'm sure most 11 cab owner have gotten used to this pedal arrangement, but I guess you are all better men than me.

Formed a piece of 1/8" strap steel to go around the brake lever, bent a new accelerator rod linkage,(works good, but may improve it a little), installed a brass bushing in the new linkage hole and made a new button from a small freeze plug.

Thanks, David
