Bedelia controls

I have been researching the controls on the Bedelia, for the sake of authenticity, in part, but also because the foot-well of mine will be very tight, as the feet will be where the inline V-twin was on the original, so a very narrow space.

It turns out that the accelerator was operated by two levers (throttle and advance/retard) inside the right side of the cockpit.

On Grace's Guide I have found the 4th of December 1912 issue of The Cyclecar with an article describing the common systems of control in cyclecars.

In the simplest form of cyclecar having final transmission by means of two belts, the drive is usually taken up by closing up the pulleys or by tightening the belts. In the Bedelia there is a lever at the right-hand side of the driver, which, on being pulled backwards, tightens the belt.. On being pushed forward to a certain point, free engine is obtained by slackening the belts, and further movement applies brake blocks to the back wheels. There are two small levers for operating the throttle and spark respectively, and there is a pedal operated by the driver’s left foot, which raises the exhaust valves ; further application applies the foot brake. In the Bedelia the change of gear is effected by placing the belt on different-sized pulleys.

So there was a foot-brake but not a foot accelerator. The throttle levers referred to can be seen in a very small picture (which doesn't blow-up sufficiently clearly for publication, here). They are at the side of the cockpit, not at the driver's feet. 

On my Bédélia, belt tightening will be done by the torque converter and there will be a foot-brake, I think. But I am wondering about putting the throttle on the steering wheel, like the advance and retard levers on a vintage car.
