Smartpot Throttle Pedal - Traditional Steel

This is a traditional-style pedal that hangs down from the under the dash.

The Smartpot is driven by two pieces separated by a spring. This isolates the Smartpot and allows excess movement without damaging the pot. I don't know if the Smartpot housing is to be modified or not, so I created a plate that the pot can be welded to. Slots allow slight rotation to create or take away pedal play. The "Cap" parts also cover the pot to keep out debris or retain grease.

The design was to keep it simple using standard steel shapes and stampings and using common welding operations. The pedal is limited by the bumper up top, while the depression motion is limited by the bottom bumper hitting the floorboard. The Smartpot can be easily removed, as well as the entire pedal box.

The actual pedal (that your foot touches) is quick and dirty as it doesn't relate to the Smartpot.

Materials are as follows:
MILD STEEL:
Bracket Tube
D Shaft
Mount Bracket
Mount plate
Pedal Mount
Pedal Rod
Pedal Rod Bracket

GFRP:
Cam
Pot Cap
Spring Cap

RUBBER:
Bumper
Floor Bumper

ASSEMBLIES:
-Cam Assy: Cam and D shaft are pressed together.
-MOunt Bracket Assy: Bracket Tube is fillet welded into Mount Bracket.
-Pedal Mount Assy: Mount Bracket Assy is spot welded to Pedal Mount.
-Pedal Rod Assy: Pedal Rod is fillet welded to Pedal Rod Bracket around the rod. The tab is to locate itself.
-Assembly1: Cam Assy slides into Spring Cap and Pot Cap and into Smartpot. Then the Pedal Rod Assy slides into Pedal Mount Assy, through Main Spring, and fastened with a push nut. I did not fasten these parts as the Pedal Rod Assy hold it together, but it may be necessary (e-clip or spring).

* sorry for the terrible names, I just name them the first thing that comes to mind.
