New 2008 type throttle repair/upgrade. In theory, no need to open potbox.

Not ready for prime time.

In any case. Here is a good working hall pedal. .5v to 4v tested.

Should work in any Gem as fs1 uses dry contact relay. T1-T5 ok. T1 may require 12v to 5v reducer which I can supply and test for you.

$200 or try a search. I have not been able to find or price it. My source is unknown. Let me know what you find.

Something for 2002 welding pedal.

2002 pedal works with T4, so 2008 type pedal should work with 2002. Correct harness shown below.

I made a reverse harness by mistake. Can’t think how it could be useful. Testing welder pedal in a 2008, possibly. Or replacing a bad 2008 with a welder pedal. Unlikely I’m sure, but the mistake was made. ☹

Conversion harness allows a bulkhead mount hanging pedal to work in older cars. Mechanically, I have no idea how it would fit.
