Icon3 Throttle Cable 1/2 Inch too long

I have no more adjustment in my throttle cable next to the throttle body. 99 civic with gsr swap.. Changed the throttle body for a bigger one and also used a throttle body spacer which is now giving me this issue. Advice please thanks!!

Ahh nice idea. Anything I can do with the slack near the gas pedal? Maybe a spacer of some sorts there?

if you have a ACE hardware where u live, go there and got to where all the billions of nuts and bolts are.... near that area will be some rubber washers of ALL diffreant shapes and sizes, YOu should be able to find one just right or close enough, the use as a spacer where the wire meets the pedal... done this before and works great feels stock, and no one will ever see it!!
