| Gas Pedal |

I put these pictures up for a member of the Triumph Mailing List. He wrote,
"Can someone tell me if the two plates that retain the accelerator bushings (where the accel. rod pedal goes through the firewall) mount a) both on the engine bay side of the firewall, b) both on the cockpit side of the firewall, or c) one on each side? And is it the same on both ends (driver and passenger) - if it's different, how so?"
Each side has two bearing housing (plates) pieces that make up the whole, giving a total count of four plates. One half of the whole is in the engine bay and the other in the foot well, which means that they "sandwich" the firewall with the bushing in-between. Both sides are configured the same.
Page 306 of my Bentley manual has an excellent illustration.

Passenger's foot well. Notice the plate bolted to the vertical wall, just left if the dangling wire. (hard to see, it's all black)

|
Driver's foot well. Notice the plate bolted to the vertical wall with the gas pedal running through it.

Far side of the assembly in the engine compartment. This shows how the pedal assembly terminates into the passenger-side firewall.
