An electrical solution is better as you could have it disengage when the brake lights come on.
I have a mechanical solution in my Land Rover, its the PTO hand throttle which just lifts the throttle butterfly. Its ok on the flat, but you slow on hills and rev the conkers out of it when you forget and drop the clutch..

Lambert wrote: Whatcha. It's almost time for the annual reconnaissance mission to the North Coast. This involves a 9 ish hour motorway stint which is tedious. In other vehicles I have either real cruise control or as a compensation a sort of accelerator pedal foot rest rather than in the Jimny having to maintain a steady foot position for hours on end resulting in a dead ankle. I have seen Dave's push rod arrangements and while functional off road I wouldn't be happy at 70 mph. I have half looked at a foot rest like for the left foot in the automatic one but mounting it suitably isn't immediately obvious. I had also considered a choke cable to the throttle butterfly but again I can't see an obvious way to route one. What else is an option?
Oh, no no no...
My -
Is to set the revs for a winching operation, or for after one to recharge the battery (leave it running at say 2,000 rpm...)
NOT to be some sort of cruise control!

If it is harder to press down you will not have to hold your foot back. or?
btw I do not have this problem, just went to the Annual club meet 8-9 hour drive both ways. And done other trips too not having this problem.
Could my 2005 pedal have a different setup maybe?
I have 2004 seats which have a bit better support under the leg.
