FINE YOU WANT CONTEXT, I’LL GIVE YOU ALL THE CONTEXT THEN!
A little while ago, my car developed a problem where it would not start until the 5th or 6th try. No turn over or nothing. After a little bit of research, I deduced that the clutch safety sensor must be at fault. After contemplating spending $30 on a new one, when to find the time to replace it (multiple jobs), whether or not it would go out completely and strand me somewhere, I decided I would take a look in after jumping from one job to another.
The pedal (not pictured) had a hole in it, and the firewall had a plastic nub sticking out which was obviously the sensor. There was also a nut and bolt on the floor. The nut/bolt blocks the hole and pushes in the sensor and must have been jostled loose. I then took myself and the car to an autoparts store, brought some single use threadlocker, and permanently fixed the problem for $1.60. And got the rest of the afternoon off to boot. SO THERE, THE END.

Eh, unless it’s one of these:
There is no good day if you need to buy one of these. Worst $0.90 of recent memory.

I mounted a tv on my wall for about that much.

If you did that while the motor was in I bow down to you.

Several hours and lots of swearing, pounding, bending rods to just the right contortion so you could hit it, yeah, it sucked. Next time, fuck it, it’s going to be epoxied and see how long it’ll hold. JB Weld would probably work fine.

9/10 would recommend. Better than F&F 4!

We used to make a brake pedal that was like that. Sets the switch range. We made it for another vendor. Ours were just set in the design so no nuts on the floor.
the switches set and have a range based on the part design and the actual travel of the switch flag on the pedal arm. If it changes it can throw sensors like mad. Starter interlocks, cruise control, brake lights, shifter interlock. All from one or two switches. Great when they work. I did like driving past the Ford plant in St.Thomas and seeing the pretty red lights all over the holding yards however. Hundreds of crown vics twinkling the battery away. All because the swit h flag was in the wrong spot.
