Ideas for a column throttle and foot-feed combination (Pre-1926)
What are the different ways of making a combination throttle control on a Model T? I'm looking for one that uses the standard lever on the steering column and also a foot-feed on a pre-1926 engine with the standard NH carb. A System that gives you the same combination as a model A. I've got one idea of how to do it but there may be better/simpler versions out there . . . no sense re-inventing the wheel.

There were accessory kits available from the suppliers years back, besides back when.

this uses the Vaporizer to Holley carb linkage as part of the design
Using the Vaporizer Throtlle Linkage requires that you also need to have the Conversion linkage for the Vaporizer to Holley NH kit --

the peddle part is still sold by some suppliers https://www.macsautoparts.com/1928-31-f ... 939-1.html https://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/2 ... 29461.html

The Model A (1928-29) design can also work - put not there parts.

Texas T Parts used to sell one that works well. I bought one before Bird Haven bought them out and it disappeared. It would be easy to duplicate.

I found this for a Winfield down draft carb on a Model A. Very simple set up. The arm on the carb is a modern part sold by Speedway etc

Model A (28-29) has a bracket that attached to hogs head ears (bracket doesn't fit a Model T nut one could be made and then the rest added .
The arm on the left is attached to the throttle rod (need to find picture) and the arm on the left is hooked up to the carburetor (need picture)
