Gbs Pedal Box Assembly

[Guest Dave Skirrow]

I've recently bought the GBS pedal box and it didn't come with any instructions so I'm not sure I've put it together correctly. Kinda stuck on the accelerator but not 100% in the rest of it. Looks like there is a bush or something missing. Can anyone confirm if the clutch and brake are right, and how to accelerator fits?

clutch and brake are right the accelerator is separate you fit the throttle pedal to the brace see if I can find a picture I had same problem found it easier to keep original throttle pedal and just use the clutch and brake from gbs

because the pedal box is for the zero don't know why they advertise it as 2b the brace is useless it fits the zero and not a 2b mine needed a lot of alteration to get it to fit if you want a picture I will have to email you one as the site wont let me post a picture

Cheers fellas, tractor if you could email a photo to me that would be much appreciated. Pretty baffled by it at the moment. I'll PM you my email address

I spent several hours fitting the pedal box yesterday - turned out to be quite a big task.

 

Just working out how to secure cables and stuff now. Couple of questions for anyone in the know.

 

1 - Is there a better alternative to solderless nipples for securing throttle cable and clutch cables? I'm using little things that are for push bikes but they don't exactly look like a strong solution.

2 - How can I secure the clutch cable to the bracket - see the below photo (and before anyone comments the wood was just a mock up before transferring to steel!)

the clutch cable i used[from gbs] had a metal sleeve to slot into the bracket ,sorry unable to load picture

[Guest Dave Skirrow]

Cheers, I'm using the standard sierra I think, Looks like there should be some fitting on the front half

I drilled bigger hole in clutch pedal then used 8mm bolt with couple of washers to clamp it simplezzzz

[Guest Dave Skirrow]

Cheers fellas, Richard, does the cable just stay in the bracket with the notch on it's own or is there something on the pedal facing side to secure it? Worries that the outer cable will come out of the bracket when foot comes off the clutch

If Richard's is like mine then there is nothing on the other side holding it in just the pressure from the way it is set up, if that makes sense.

i think gbs had a download on kit spares

Dont use a bolt as it will cut through cable you need a cable with an eye on end and mod peddle end to take a pin the eye can spin on

You need to mod the top of the pedal to take an eye end I use aQCC1148 from a capri 1103 mmlong.

Otherwise you will cut cable with a bolt and just drilling pedal

Cheers guys, not sure of the best way to go with this but I think there's a couple of options.

 

Do you use a clevis pin to hold the eye in? With the Capri cable?
