Lets see. Bend wipers. No thanks.
Install a new travel stop so the relaxed
travel is a few mm less. Hmmmmmm
Sounds like a better way instead of
bending wipers. Soon the carbon will
be worn away from too much pressure
from misbent wipers. Forget the lag,
how about the new dead spots and
undesired quirky response from missing
resistance material?
Put a travel stop on mine and now its
fully micro adjustable with no bending
of wipers. Hows that for a modified mod?
That would be fine logic but they WILL wear out no matter what. Probably a little sooner with the mod but in the end, it will wear out.
This may be true, but Ford has life-cycle tested these to last x amount of cycles. This mod may prematurely wear them. How much is anyones guess.
BTW, I think I like "pot" better than "rheo". More sensitivity with a "pot".
I was lucky to pull that one out of memory that hadn't been touched in 35 years, even with the bad spelling.

The patch of carbon on top of the gold pad is less sensitive because it has METAL underneath it, and that metal is making continuous contact with all of the carbon on top of it, negating its ability to act as a variable resistor.
Only AFTER the metal pad, is the carbon sensitive and acting as resistor.
thie is great.just ordered new pedal and will try when it comes.TUBE,[sm=massbounce.gif][sm=groupwave.gif] GREAT POST,YOU HAVE MY GRAITUDE.wish c&d was more into every day cars,but the high dollar ones are great.
By changing the angle of the brushes, we are changing the area where the brushes contact the track. My question is what happens if we adjust these brushes too far and they contact the Plates on the other side of the track. this would happen under a WOT scenario. I have modded your pic to clarify my question.
Anyway, because you are bending the tabs so they go forward, there is no problem at WOT, as the brush just comes and makes contact with the WOT side brass pad area, and the ECU automatically opens the throttle 100% there anyway.

It's a nice discovery, I guess, but I don't really see what it gives? Like the clutch or brake bite points, the gas pedal is just something you get used to.
- Unless of course you go to meetings where these things are measured, with an award for the person with the least amount of dead pedal [&:]
it works just like a short trough shifter. if the distance from 1 to 2 is shorten you can shift quicker
here if the the brush touchs the carbon quicker it tells the ecu to open the T/b quicker. you are just
getting rid of the gap. like olf stile cables you use to shorthen the cable and make tight so when you accelerate it is more sensible. imagine we all have a loosen cable, this is the electronic way of making
it tight and NICE!

Put the cover back onto the pedal assembly. NOTE: There is a rubber gasket that goes in the slot. MAKE SURE not to lose it, or crush it, this could cause your vehicle to accelerate uncontrolably! Screw the 5 TORX screws back in VERY CAREFULLY do not distort the cover, or you may bend the wires and cause bad ju ju.

Well, that doesn't make sense to me. If you're adjusting the brush closer to one edge of the carbon strip intially, then the end point of the brush at WOT would have to be FARTHER from the other end of the strip. If the "side brass pad area" is in reality the WOT area as you say, then you would not be reaching there anymore after the brush adjustment. Correct?Not trying to be confrontational, just truly trying to get a grasp on this.

Exactly. Thats why the travel stop works much better than the bending method.
