A tubular member rotatably mounted in the mounting plate extends downwardly through the floor of the vehicle and is integral with, or attached to, a housing located below the floor of the vehicle. First and second levers are pivotally mounted in the housing and a shaft extends up through the tubular member to couple the first lever to the accelerator pedal. The second lever, which is contrained to move with the first lever, is connected to the inner wire of a control cable leading to the carburetor of the vehicle.
