I know my escort had had the pedal box changed at some point. Looking to change the throttle pedal bushes.

I have always thought my throttle pedal was a bit odd. How does my pedal compare to other mark2 escorts. I think the pedal should be level with the overs,it looks a bit short.

Looks right to me although hard to tell precisely with a 2 dimensional image. Stage 1 Motorsport is doing pedal bush kits including the accelerator one that you haven't been able to get until recently.

It only looks different as there is no return spring on the clutch pedal to raise it to the same level as the brake pedal.

The actual arm looks shorter on throttle pedal 

Its just a bit of an optical illusion when you view 2D images from different angles. The pedals are the same length. We had alot of Mk2 Autos here as we put 2lt engines in everything. We even have Automatic RS2000s.

It was a C3 yes. They weren't too bad if you drove it through the gears but the cars definitely lacked peak performance as any auto transmission was always partnered with a pinto engine that was low compression, so as well as the auto box sapping power it was also down on horsepower compared to its manual counterpart before even going through a box.

I remember when drag racing ....... um ....... I mean friendly performance comparisons from lights didn't get you on the 6 o'clock news my friend with a 1.6lt Ghia would come up beside an RS2000 and ask me in the passenger seat "is it an auto? Ill have a go if it is!"
