Upper pedal stop is a must, without it you could get nipples jumping out of their location hole. No throttle can be as dangerous as a stuck full throttle. Pedal spring return is best done with one of these torsion springs on the pedal fulcrum point, then there is no undue strain on the throttle cable and linkage.

thanks peeps.

The solution inthe pictures is unfortunately a different design so the cable can come in form the back of the pedal box, mine seems to be top entry type and I've yet to see a solution for that type.

Hopefully there is enough room on the pedal to fit a torsion spring as that would be the easiest solution
