This listing is for a new reproduction Sunbeam Tiger accelerator (gas) pedal stop that we made exactly as the original. Many people don't even know this part exists. The illustration (poor) of it is in the "Tiger Workshop Manual" Section C, pg. 19 along with the description of how to use it to adjust your linkage. I became aware of it when I came upon an ebay listing for the stop. For the first two years of owning my Tiger, I was continually tightening the lever position adjustment bolt on the pedal, as it slipped repeatedly when I stepped too hard on the accelerator. Problem solved, I thought. Try and find one! Most were discarded during carpet changes and other modifications, and the rare times you found one on ebay it was usually rusty with prices going up to $100. 


This part is intended to limit gas pedal travel and relieve the tension on the throttle cable. It is constructed of the same material and has the exact same bends and measurements as the original. The rubber bumper stop is custom made as there was nothing available with the same dimensions. We turned the rubber stock and made it match exactly (even though you don't see it once installed). The metal is satin black powder coated so it will not rust and there are stainless steel fasteners provided to mount it. 

The first three pictures show the product, and the fourth is a picture of the stop installed in my other Tiger, which I am currently restoring. I covered it with white tape for the picture so it would  show up against the dark blue. There are two 10/32 hex nuts welded by the factory on the transmission tunnel to mount this. You should run a tap in the threads to clean them up if there's nothing installed there, as they will be rusty.     Thanks, Al


Video: Chevrolet Caprice PPV reports for duty

Fri, 23 Sep 2011

For years, police have hit the streets with the reliable but aging Ford Crown Victoria. That car has now been retired, and the Detroit Three are rolling out replacements. Ford now makes an Interceptor version of the Taurus, Dodge has the Charger and Challenger police vehicles, and Chevrolet is coming back with a revamped version of its Caprice.

Mercedes CLA starts to roll off production line in Hungary

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

The Mercedes CLA – the baby Mercedes CLS based on the new A Class – has started to roll off the production line at Kecskemét in Hungary. But that’s probably unfair; based as it is on the new A-Class, the CLA is a very good car under the skin, even if its big USP is the dramatic styling. Now, just over a week after the CLA got its first public reveal (if you don’t count the Mercedes Concept Style Coupe on which its based), the first production car has rolled off the line at the Mercedes plant in Kecskemét, Hungary.

Hyundai Veloster Turbo Confirmed

Tue, 01 Nov 2011

Hyundai Veloster to get new 204bhp Turbo When Hyundai revealed details of the Veloster Coupe – the successor to the successful Hyundai Coupe – we found lots we liked and, really, just on thing we didn’t – its paucity of power. All the new Veloster had to offer was the 138bhp 1.6 litre GDI petrol which, although quite frugal, didn’t exactly light a fire of desire for the Veloster in the way we would have liked. So when we reported a couple of weeks ago that Hyundai had revealed a couple of new engines in Korea – a 204bhp turbo and a 150bhp diesel – we rather hoped that Hyundai would see fit to bolt both in to the Veloster sooner rather than later.
