The use of Nylon pulleys with ball bearings eliminate wear on cable wires.
The same pulleys are used throughout the FAT system except for the small pulley used on the accelerator’s driver’s side floor assembly. The pulleys outside diameter is 1 5/8 inches.
Cable housing (often referred to as the outer cable) is 3/8 inch in diameter and has a white nylon inner sleeve in order to reduce friction and to protect the cable from wear. The nylon white inner sleeve has been swaged together with the main housing using the steel end as shown: Note A
Note B: When the housing is tied into a knot, the white nylon inner slides into the main part of the housing at the cut end (opposite end of steel end). If the cable housing is cut to size by first tying it into a knot; then when the knot is released, a part of the nylon white inner will be left protruding.
When the knot is released from the cable housing, the white nylon inner is left protruding.

Note that the white nylon inner of the cable housing will fit into the inner hole of the floor assembly. As a result, the cable never comes into contact with hard steel, which eliminates any possibility of cable wear.

Passenger side cable ends are looped around a thimble.
Cable fastening hole in pivot arm is threaded. This, along with the use of a lock nut, allows the cable loop to be kept loose so that it can pivot.

Fastening the accelerator cable to the vehicles pedal:

The cable is then brought up through the hole, makes a loop, is brought back through the clip followed by tightening the set screw.
This part measures 5/16 by 3/8 by 3/8 inches.
