Re: (ET) "gas pedal" - or rheostat??



I was hoping for a pre-made foot pedal control unit. A little poking found the Curtis FP-2, as can be seen at
http://www.evparts.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=538&product_id=581

However, I'm not sure how water-proof it is, and it costs more than the controller. So that is out.

I'll have to look at the E-20 and see if there is a protected place to mount the PB-6 and link it to the arm on the original pedal.

the 0 - 5K 1/4 turn pot inside, but you can also use a ITS throttle from an
Club Car golf cart.  I have no idea what they cost, but check with your
local golf car supplier.

What ever you use, make sure it is weather resistant and totally sealed 
from
the dust and dirt.

I'm looking for a source of good quality & water proof foot controls to
use with the AllTrax controller on an E20. Either a potentiometer, or an
inductive pickup which it can also use and which are theoretically more
reliable. Suggestions welcome.
