how big in outer diameter should the nylon spacer be?

get under the dash and look at the top of your gas pedal, there's a hole with a cable running through it, and the cable has a flange on the end that prevents the cable from falling out of the hole. you need something that will hold between the flange and the pedal. it'll give you an idea what you need if you look at it.

Hey, I just did this tweak today. I got a 1in Nylon spacer with a ID big enough for the end cap and it fit so nice once I got the ****er cut to put it on. The cutting was the worst for me. I hack sawed it, and then sanded it wider because a razor did nothin', hah. But after that, smooth sailing. I put it on, but a hose clamp on it, and took her out for a spin. Needless to say, I can't believe they did that to the pedal in the 99-00.

I have a 99 3.8L V6, and I loved this tweak, very awesome.

ACE Hardware, of course! =D I think it was their smallest one too.

DId this couple weeks ago..lol. Guy at the auto store gave me the hose from teh scrap bin, all I bought was the clamps, which I only ended up using one of. Ended up going with the ties. Why? Well, I'm a big fella (285) and fitting under the dash was not so much an issue but trying to get both hands up there to hold the clamp while I tightened it was becoming a chore. Especially since everytime I moved the damn electric seat would move forward and pin me..LOL.

It's not quite even with the brake, but closer. THink it slipped a little. Some day I'll revisit it and adjust it and get the clamps on. But it definitely made a difference. Went to take off right after I did it and scared the hell out of the neighbors....oops.

HAHAHA, My seat kept on doing the same thing. At one point I wasn't sure how I'd get out.

Mmm can't remember. Nearly the same as the diameter of their smallest hose clamp when I bought it (so almost all the way open).

Ah haha. Nice.
