Accelerator/throttle shaft pedal restoration
« on: June 18, 2019, 11:26:57 AM »
When looking at the throttle shaft assembly for a 1967 mustang 428 with automatic transmission, there are two thin wave type split spring washers between the rod/bracket and washers.  Does anyone have any suggestions for replacement of these when they deteriorate and rust through?  Any help is appreciated.

Wave washers also used in 3 and four speed shifter linkage.Maybe experiment with that application as a source.

Thank you for both responses.  I was able to find the wave washers at Virginia Mustang in a manual shifter kit, as well as AMK in the Bulk section.  Thank you again for this help.
