Thanks for the info.
I wasn't sure if the original had a special shaft, wiring harness or mount to the pedal assembly. In the restoration I'm working on they replaced it with a Happ pedal. Bought a new pedal (sans pot) from a fellow user but haven't got it yet to examine.
Ok, got my pedal from the seller and as it turns out not only is the pot missing but also the gear and anything to mount the pot (see pic below).
Anyone mind snapping a pic of theirs, not sure what's missing and seller hasn't responded to email so I think I'm on my own finding the parts. Looks like Arcadefixit has the gear, and if the pot's generic that'll work but not sure how to mount it and marry up to the flat blade gear.

Also a question about SH shifter. What was standard? I have one like below and also a red balltop and I've seen black balltops as well. Did they vary, were they replaced or replaceable by operators?

Thanks in advance for any info!
Was that a KLOV seller? I'd be pissed if I bought the gas pedal assembly and it was missing the mount and gear for the pot. If you bought it on eBay I'd be carefully reviewing their listing.
Yeah, the diagram is incorrect. Be very careful what parts you buy because it's very easy to buy the parts for the sit-down version by mistake. It's also incredibly easy to mix things up in the manual because of how it is organized.
Other thoughts:. That assembly looks like it's in really nice condition. And yes, there is more than one type of shifter knob that came with the game.
Ok so it looks like the pdf posted here http://www.arcade-museum.com/manuals-videogames/S/SpyHunter.pdf is inaccurate. Even though it says 'upright accelerator pedal assembly' it's wrong.
After scrounging around some more I found the pic below which matches what I have and basically shows what I think I need.
Read this thread http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=373206 on potentiometers and the NOS ones Cossack had. Curious which pots you found Demogo for $5 that have the right spec, have a link?
Thanks for all the pics and info!
Think I'm clear on what I need now. The bracket is the last thing to find, Arcadefixit has the gear but unfortunately no brackets. Know of any other sources? If not thinking maybe I can have my local metal shop make some sort of replacement that isn't identical but still functional.
I just found out the gear has a hole for a roll pin, I thought it was a set screw that tightened down on the pot shaft with an allen key. Did you have to bore out the shaft of your replacement pot's to attach? If so how'd you do it, seems like a really small surface area.
Yes. I mentioned that in my first post to you in this thread and my previous post.
The trick is to put the very *end* of the pot shaft in a vice and drill through the shaft. The location you drill through is key; you want it to be exactly the same distance from the pot body as exists on the original pot.
Because you don't have an original pot, that makes things trickier. It's not terribly hard to do but there is a chance you'll damage the pot when you drill through the shaft.
Gripping the shaft at the very end helps minimize the chance of damaging the pot.
I mark the spot on the shaft to be drilled through by putting it in place and turning it so that the pot shaft rotation is near the beginning of the measurement zone so when your foot is off the gas pedal it's returning 0's to the game.
