Hand Throttle

You know how it is old chap .... have to try to keep the lads under control ... what.Fidei defensor

Would anybody care to translate???

The process I intend to follow is as follows:
1) Measure the range of the potentiometer that is activated by the throttle pedal IE 0 to XX Ohms.
2) Cross check that value with a wiring diagram.
3) Obtain a potemtionmeter of the same wattage at about 0 to (XX Divided by 3) which should produce a maximum handthrottle setting of about one third maximum RPM.
4) Fit the "pot" via a switch that isolates the normal accelerator controled pot from the cct.

NB The switch to change from foot to hand throttle should not be used unless the ingnition is off as there is no way to know how a "spike" introduced by the switch may be interpreted by the ECU (probably poorly)

Given your original question I think it likely that you find an auto sparky to do the work but I think that you need to find one who is comfortable with more than fitting new bits, someone who actually understands electronics.

Rosco,

You don't have a lever at the top of the throttle do you? If this is the case the cable would have to be mounted to the floor and attached to the top of the pedal, with the pull or wind knob on the dash.

Your 127 long range tank. Does it replace the original and if so does it extend any lower ? Thinking along those lines myself but not keen if it hangs too low.

hi rosco yes it replaces the original and is obviously larger but clearance is not to bad, cannot think of what standard unit looked like ,my ball hits first anyway been there , the longranger tank is designed to give u the best entry angles that are possible but i have just found out it is 132ltr ,be sure to change fuel filter just after installation, fitting prices should come with full tank of fuel for testing $$$ then 4-5 weeks later u get to finally put fuel in it , and are over it when u fill the tank $$$$ , the auxillary is filled through underneath drivers seat 80ltr not my cuppa diesel fumes cheers rather be fishing
