Default Guys with Lokar throttle cables in here please

How did you hook up the pedal end? Did you drill the pedal?

Or

Did you cut the stock cable, slide off the little deal that locks into the pedal and slide it on the Lokar cable?

It has that peice that slips through the pedal end and then I used the a metal tie to hold it on. That with tension keeps it snug.

I used the red piece off the stock cable and put washers on the firewall. Never had any issues.

Well the first time I stepped on the pedal it pulled the cable though the black factory piece.
Guess I will put the clevis end back on.
