Can Anybody Identify This?
Can anybody identify where this clip is from?
I was feeling around the area of the pedals in order to release the cables and I later spotted this on the carpet.
I can't see where it came from, but then it's difficult to see anything at all around the top of the pedals.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

It looks like the clip from the relay under the dash ?
I had a quick look back on some pictures I did of Capri relays
Or this one

Re: Can Anybody Identify This?
I agree.
The long thin end slots down into the top of the pedal at the front. It is then lifted over the top, trapping the ball on the end of the throttle cable within its recess. Once over the top, push down on the tab and it will click into position, holding the cable in place.
Don't drive the car without it fitted as the cable could become detached at an embarrassing moment.

Re: Can Anybody Identify This?
Thank you to everybody who took the time to respond, it's much appreciated.
It looks like it might be a bit of a fiddle putting the clip back, but at least I now know where it goes.

I've lost count of the number of times where one of these as come in handy, and I don't mean for doing my make up -Andrew 2.8i wrote: ↑Fri Jul 10, 2020 2:43 pm

To be honest, once you've done it once, it is simple, even with your eyes closed.Andrew 2.8i wrote: ↑Fri Jul 10, 2020 2:43 pm Thank you to everybody who took the time to respond, it's much appreciated.

First time though??? Forget the mirror, take a beer.
Re: Can Anybody Identify This?
Oh mate, if that's come off it's a big job. More than the car's worth... but I'll save you the trouble and take it of your hands for £200.

For the clip? Sold!
Re: Can Anybody Identify This?
Andrew. It's dead simple to refit the clip, you don't need to see where it goes, in fact it's easier to do it by feel ( as with a lot of things)

This must be an opportunity to polish the clip and go for the gratuitous tea towel shot

Thanks Martin.
I've had a proper look at it now and it doesn't look like a difficult job at all.

Re: Can Anybody Identify This?
Now, why didn't I think of that?
Watch this space.....

Re: Can Anybody Identify This?
Is it a genuine Ford clip? It's only worth £100 if not.
