How rotate concentric rods and lock in 2 different positions.
Hi Guys,
I'm consulting the brain trust again for ideas.
You may remember I was asking about fitting dual accelerator pedals a while back. I have had no luck getting help so I am going to do it myself, or give up......
The A6 Audi accelerator pedel must have been the last part they fitted as it has some serious bends in it so it would work!. No long straight sections at all and pedal is mounted off kilter! grrrrrrr
The idea I have, is to design a mechanism, where I can pull a detent pin, rotate the pedal up approx 45° where the detent pin will pop back in place to hold the pedal out of the way. ( very hard to explain...I hope you can follow.
Have thought of using 2 steel discs, but can't work out how to have the shafts to STAY in concenticity , the whole time. ( Maybe they don't need to, just when in 'down' position.?)
I have about 10mm of straight section so the mechansim has to be compact, otherwise it will move the pedal further out and will require the pedal to be re-orientated. ( Trying to keep ot KISS)
Pedal rod is 12 mm steel so I can mig the discs to the shafts. I have a lathe so I can machine 2 discs from mild steel.
Note: don't worry about the legalities of this. I will get approved.
