You gave it too much thought....

 

if it stays closed then pull over and give the linkage a tap, then disconnect it and forget it is even on there unless you really want it then you can get a new pedastool

 

yeah Rick hooked me up one day he was and then he





Ok maybe not. It was the previous owner's handy work!!


Hey Joe my rant was pure craziness! I am as anti EBPV as they come!

 

I was out of town that day.....

 

i realized that after i re-read your post. its been a long week, i havent had a day off in a while and been doin 14 hour shifts and i have to work through this weekend too, i typed before i thought again

Go figure engineers!

Darn it now I gotta pull my turbo to fix them welds and get new pics!!


BTW that makes 6K for me. I should be
