Im making a note of it and Ill post tonight when I get home. The tubing I had was actually a bit bit so I cut a small section as opposed to making a slice. If you look in the picture you can see that the tubing overlaps a bit. But like I said I will find out the proper inner diameter for you tonight.

no worries, do you have an estimate or a range? I think i'll stop by the hardware store on the way home and pickup stuff to do that. I'd rather buy 3-4 sizes than have to go back again.
btw, your writeup is 8 billion times easier to read and understand than any of the other write ups for this mod. good pics too.

Um, I would say that you would be very safe with an inner diameter of 1/4", I think 1/2 inch inner is too big, so somewhere in between. The smaller the inner diameter the better, all it has to be able to fit is a thin cable. If you just crawl down there and look it will give you a very good idea of what you need.

I did this mod to my car. I dunno if the gas pedal height is the same, so the spacer lenght might vary. I got a nylon spacer, about 3/4 of an inch long, from the elctronics parts store (they are usaed for mounting circuit boards). It's about 1/4" outer diameter, 1/8" hole. I took one end of the spacer and bored out the middle with an xacto knife until it would fit over the **** on the end of the gas pedal so the spacer would be flush against the flat stop on the end. I took one side, and cut out the slit with a razor (you can use a bike brake cable to make sure your slit is wide enouhg to fit over the cable without having to get into the car to check). I used one of these (1/4" i.d.) and nut/bolt/lock washer combo to secure it: http://www.picocanada.com/catalogue/7314-7329.asp

the one I used if jt&t products (jttproducts.com) part # 4464F, but I couldn't find the link anywhere for it.
10-32 x 1/2" nut/bolt combo was perfect for me.
