Hi,
I am designing my pedalbox at the moment. I do not yet have the Zetec. Can anyone tell me the stroke of the trottle cable? I will make something like this:

Pedalbox seven on the street

That will depend on things like what carbs or what Tb's and what linkage and so many other things.

as above what carb/throttle bodies are you using? as a gess would think about 40-50mm can measure tonight as have a selection of carbs and throttle bodies, can you at this stage form a number of cable connection positions in the pedal to alow for changing the action ratio's

I willl try to use the standard inlet manifold. If I make it adjustable I still need to know the approx stroke to maintain the ratio. Wat is the normally used ratio?
