Any tips on the installation of a new set of aluminium pedals? Purchased the set from Gert and they look and "feel" great in the box. I stripped off the rubber pedal cover on the clutch peal yesterday afternoon and reallized this what not going to be a five minute job as it appears that I have holes to drill. One never wants to drill holes more than once. It is important to get this right. Any tips from you fine people?

Take your time.
its quite easy..but very awkward
I used liquid paper to mark the pedals for drilling

Also, someone here had the bright idea of using a level to ensure that the brake and clutch pedals are even.

I am going to install my clutch and brake pedals directly to the metal. My rubber pedals have fallen off the metal so I can't bolt the aluminum on top of them (even if that were desirable, not sure if it would be).

1) Should I put rubber spacers between the aluminum and steel?
2) Should I use a special drill-bit to drill through the steel pedals or is a "regular" bit good enough?

JPL,

I put my aluminum pedal coverss right on the metal. Never even thought about having rubber in the middle. Also, a regular sharp drill bit should go right through.

These are Gert's instructions:

"You need to remove the original rubber lining from clutch and brake pedal.

Position the pedals on the original pedals, adjust it, mark the mounting holes and drill the holes with a 4mm drill.
Then fasten the pedals with attached screws, washers and nuts.

The footrest can only be installed in one way. Attach with the 3 little screw with washers."

1. Use a sharp drill bit. Better yet buy a two new ones...one very small size for your starter hole and a second that is one size smaller than the screw.
2. Use a punch on the pedals to mark where you want to drill the hole.
3. No rubber on the pedals.

The $5-10 dollars you spend on the above can save you a lot of time and aggravation.
