G'Day one and all
Anyone had any experience with hand throttle set-ups for drive by wire jobs.
About to have a leccie hauler fitted to the beast and based upon my observations I understand it's best to tweak the revs up to 1200 or so rather than at idle to maximise alternator output during the tug.
The Fender has a drive by wire throttle control gizmo ....... hang about .... I believe the Nips are going in that direction also .... great copiers aren't they ... ;-)))
Anyway, back to my question ... anyone set one up or know how to ... other than a block of wood. A tad difficult when there's only a couple of 2mm wires between your go hoofer and the donk.
Cheers

The idea of the seperate pot for adjusting the voltage signal to the throttle body sounds good, but switch off for change over.. you can get electronic interfaces for the drive by wire systems, like the auscruise system, but cost is about a monkey or so. Block of wood or better yet a custom length of wooden dowell costs less than a beer ..mmmmmmm....beeeeeerrrrrr.
Then again if you have the cool breeze fitted then just switch that on and see what the revs rise to. Just killin time till
easter...............go and play in the dirt, instead of workin in it......

Rosco,
When you are winching your self out of a pickle, you would be in the drivers
seat, controlling the vehicle with the remote winch switch coming from the control box across the bonnet and in through the drivers window. A light touch of the throttle with the right foot should elimate the need for a hand throttle.
Winching someone else out and your vehicle anchored, the same procedure will apply. You are safer in your own vehicle when winching than out.
