    1) I assume I am missing a plastic clip or something that keeps this cable in the pedal?

    last question...How high did you mount your v8 pedal? The bottom hole on the bracket lines up but not the top. The position of the pedal seem ok, if not a tad high. The top looks lined up with the hole for the throttle cable.

    FYI looks like your clip is still there just pushed into the hole. 82622D5D-7A11-4B02-8219-DC4B6AB298DB.jpeg

    I think that is a separate bushing. The other one was smaller.

    No that should be the correct one.

    Most of the time they are fine, only had one really jammed in there before and it still worked. Just have to be really careful pulling it out.
