In response to a request, I've had a limited number of these made again.

They are a tenner inc postage.

They reinforce the mount for the throttle pedal.which can fracture due to its proximity to the wiring loom grommet. Standard fit for autos but was a must have on my manual as the pedal was flapping all over after I stressed it replacing the rubber

I can thoroughly recommend these, even though my bulkhead on the Carledo had not yet cracked, it flexed quite badly in use, so I used one in a prophylactic manner, works a treat, better throttle response too!
