Title: clucth and accelerator padel
Post by: pinkfloyd on November 23, 2011, 02:01:27 PM
why is it that my fiat 131 super mirafiori 1600cc has the clucth and accelerator padel so hard??? I also have an alfa romeo giulia 1600cc and both padels are much more soft !!

any ideas please?

Seized cable? Or perhaps the pedal box bushings themselves are partly seized? Also it could be the clutch itself that is faulty or the carburettor linkage or throttle butterfly which is at fault.

thanks once again expert man.
another question - i would like to fit a pair of front fog lights for my 131. do you recommend them and if yes what size and colour (white or yellow) and make?

Looks wise I guess it's a personal thing ;)

If you don't get much fog then is it worthwhile that also is a personal decision.

My Panorama estate car when I bought it unfortunately I don't have any photos on the net of it at the moment but it appears sometimes on the homepage of this site (it's blue)

I removed them, can't remember what make they are but they are for sale :)

they fit the 131 sport racing but my 131 has squarish lights, so i prefer something similiar
