I'd been working on a refurbishment of my Pole Position upright when I realized my throttle pedal had been hacked a bit. Instead of pot, it had switch. So it was full throttle or nothing.

I had sourced all the parts to get it back to factory spec... except the pulley. See here for that request. Though I couldn't find just a pulley, I was fortunate to find an entire pedal assembly that included one, thank you @angelo0103 !

I successfully completed the pulley transplant from the cockpit pedal assembly to my upright assembly yesterday!

However, the real point of this thread is to better document the pulley as it seems to now be unobtanium, and there may be members here that could machine some reproductions... thanks @journeymandt !!

I'm hoping my digital caliper is fairly accurate... and that I am using it correctly.

This photo below is measuring the hole for the 5k potentiometer. It needs to be large enough to accommodate the shaft.

The set screw for the pulley is 4-40, and available from @Mylstar here.


Hopefully these photos help to resurrect availability of this part.
 
Has no one made these? I thought someone reproed these. I can 3d print these if needed
 
I couldn't find anyone that repro'd them. I also considered 3D printing them, but I don't think standard materials would hold up? Look how worn the one I transplanted is.

My was hacked the same way I rebuilt it but not with original parts like you…yours is better
 
I figured as much it's a pretty delicate system. That pot wears out fast and the cable is prone to snapping over time. It's annoying but is kinda important for game play so I don't like the mod
