Hi would anybody have the Little plastic cover which fits over the carpet and is adjacent to the accelerator pedal for sale. My current one is split in two halves. I have checked e-bay a few times but unfortunately its not an item thats generally seen in the vast e-bay x1/9 category at the moment. :?:

Hi Charlie,

You can have mine if you want it (1500 same as 1300, I guess?)

A couple of years ago, we were on the 1st run of the year; I was racing....

er... trying to catch ex Xy friends in their modified, very quick Austin A35

(it was NOT going to win :twisted: )... so after the 3rd village/ 30mph

limit, I floored it & caught them up :D :D

However, the A35 was useless on corners and as Paul quickly decelerated,

I found my throttle was stuck & his rear was looming ever

larger :shock: :shock:

Thank God there was a side road for me to take, & as the £ signs rolled at

the prospect of a blown engine, I switched off the ignition. :idea:

Several friends stopped to help, & Rob D finally found the culprit.....

the said plastic cover had worked loose & jammed the accelerator to the

floor. He removed it....& I've never dared to put it back; one shock like

that is one too many for Yorkshire folk. :!: :wink:

If you still want it after that provenance, it's yours :!:

Cheers,

Sharon.

Live and let live.

Hi Sharon,
That bit of provenance is an extra bonus. Not only am I getting a replacement part , but one with a hell of a story to tell. No doubth this story will be racalled among fellow Irish exxy enthuasists ,whenever this item is mentioned. Many thanks for your kind offer. Just pm me with the cost and postage charge.

Thanks ,
Charlie

No cost, no charge, just pm me with your address.

Take it as a "Thank you/ Lovely to see you & Mary again/ Thanks for supporting last year's National".

Just make sure it's FIRMLY screwed down... history Shouldn't repeat itself :!: But hopefully, the provenance might buy you a beer or two :?: ... But then... you'd NEVER floor it anyway :?: :?: :wink:
