Does anyone have, or can anyone get, a photo of where the gas pedal is hooked up to the back side of the footwell? I found a bolt in my footwell this morning. I think I know where it goes, but want to check. I can see the foot of three bolts, and there's a hole (just to the left of where the pedal connects to the 'body' of the main unit of the accelerator).

Pic would be helpful, or even just confirmation that there's a bolt head there (cos it'd be the only head just to the left of the pedal).

Thanks in advance!!!

Cheers, Bigcat. Looks like the hole I was looking at has no bolt in your pics. Ah, well. I'll keep looking.

Thanks again!

Threw the wife under the car and she found it. One of the screws which hold the brake pedal bracket fell out - the other preparing to do the same!

All sorted now - thanks once more, Bigcat.

Well, I'm going to guess it's something from when the car was rebuilt after my accident. The repair job was second-rate, to say the least (I had to go back to get them to fix a bunch of stuff the shop messed up).

My big worry is, what else is hanging in by the last thread???
