Re: Throttle Pedal - Right hand drive conversion
Just check out the RHD 124 coupes, if you want to do it the same way as the factory did. You can also have a look at the 131/132 range which used similar engine/carby/throttle cable arrangements.
This is my set up on SPYDUH - the green cable is the throttle cable (and it is from a 131 Superbrava).

Re: Throttle Pedal - Right hand drive conversion
Im not exactly a stones throw away from Aus, I live in the North of the United Kingdom, although depending on delivery charges it maybe still worth looking into. I wonder if my local fiat dealership would be able to help.
What ever the outcome thanks very much for your help, I love the pictures by the way!
Cheers.

Re: Throttle Pedal - Right hand drive conversion
The question really is "why would you want to ?" I would suggest if it is a carby car, just reverse the cable control out of a LHD car

DTR Sports do a lot of Spider work in the UK, you could give them a call.

Cheers for your replies, DTR are the main 124 specialists here but can be quite awkward especially when your not dealing with them.
