Default oh, NO pedal?

Thank you Tony for the kind words and encouragement! The C8 has a lot of modifications, and not as original as I would like. I'm just trying to maintain some momentum on the project and not get too bogged down on the little things...
Thanks also to Bob and Andrew for the great information and photo!
Well, tore out the gas pedal and linkage I had made today. Makes sense that a button was used instead of a pedal.
As you can see, the linkage hole was badly worn, so I made a threaded sleeve with a pressed-in brass fitting that screwed into the existing hole nicely. Got a freeze plug and brazed a nut to the back side for the button.
Looks a lot more original...
Thanks again for all the help!
David
