Crikey! Well yes, there it is! I prefer the slightly less druconian 700/900 series system I think...

cheers

does look siginificantly different in the accelerator arm design, but that isn't to say it couldnt fit in a 300...

hmmmm cruise in a 360...

the hardest thing would surely be mounting the cylender that moves the pedal arm..

No mate nothing to do with the economy, 300's are cheap over here coz most people think they are crap and only driven by old farts with flat caps and a pipe.hence limited second hand market = low price. Its only when you buy one coz they are a good cheap runaround that you realize what fun they can be (we have to keep this a secret though otherwise the prices will rise rapidly )LOL

I'm not so sure - there are factory kits available to mount the cruise wheels to the B200E manifold (used on the B230ET/FT!). The only headache is the speed input. With that setup, if the throttle pedal doesn't fit nicely, you're stuck. Plus the speed input still isn't that easy.

In other words, neither route is a walk in the park...but worthwhile IMO!

cheers

Kyuss,
I got the pedal, including arm (which is a bit rusty on the surface) and the gear knob packaged up today and the estimate for posting to Australia is............£8.62. That sounds quite reasonable compared to your Haynes manuals, as it's quite large to take the pedal and arm. If you're happy with that I'll just need the email address you use for Paypal and we can figure out the price.
