Inside the camper faffing and firkling

What about the other two screw lugs above those two - they look wider apart.

 

Have you still got a David Cassidy poster? Be honest.

 

Was a bit wimpy.

 

Save it for TE - a bit of fettling needed

 

What’s firkling?

 

Sounds a bit personal!

 

You could cut the bus peddle down so it’s narrower

 

I used to love the Dukes of Hazard when I was little Can't help with the pedal, sorry. Have you called VW heritage's help line?

 

^^this. You don't need to cut the whole pedal, just make a couple of slots where the screw bosses are cast on the Bigfoot with a hacksaw and/or file. It's only a millimetre or 2 that needs taking off

 

I wouldn't, you'll be cutting chunks out of the folded down sides of the pedal which give it strength. The best place for a big foot pedal is that shelf in your garage/shed or over Snotty's fence. I would guess I came across half a dozen or so when I was a bus fixer, to a man they were loose and flapping about or sliding up and down the pedal. It's always been a problem to which the obvious solution is to remove them!

 

Ferkel is German for piglet, so anglicise it to get firkle and what do piglets do? They rummage around looking for things. Another word for firkling is snotting (use of the snout to firkle) and someone who does this could be described as snotty.

 

But they`re soooo kooool , get with it daddyo

 

............... I think you're setting your taste bar a bit low though these things have been around sooooooo long they're almost a period accessory...but personally, anything with the potential of tangling up the pedals is a bit fat no. I is old though.
