VW Beetle & Karmann Ghia Accelerator Pedal Hinge Bracket — Silver Zinc (98-8612-B)
Restore smooth, reliable throttle response to your classic air-cooled Volkswagen with this heavy-duty Accelerator Pedal Hinge Bracket. Over decades, original brackets often become "ovaled out," rusted, or snap due to metal fatigue, leading to a sloppy or sticking gas pedal.
Finished in a durable silver zinc plating, this bracket is the primary pivot point for the accelerator pedal, ensuring the pedal sweep is perfectly aligned with the throttle cable S-link.
