Accelerator stop bolt

[zak]

Whats the purpose of the bolt under the accelerator pedal? Is it just to stop the soldiers heavy foot or did the linkage get stuck when the gas pedal was floored?

 

[OPCOM]

the fuel feed lever stops before the bolt is hit. If you notice, there is a point before the bolt is hit, where the tension increases. That's the stop, and beyong that, you are just pulling on a spring.
