ok guys, now that some of recieved our pedals, lets discuss the best way to install them. Any advise or pics would be helpfull.

TIA

sorry, no pics...

but it's pretty strightforward. I think it may have even been discussed after the last couple of GBs on these pedals. Not certain...

Brake/Clutch Pedals:
Remove rubber from brake and clutch
place new pedal on clutch/brake and mark 2 hole positions in each (diagonally from each other)
if you want you can put tape on the pedal so that the pen marks are more visible
drill 2 holes in brake/clutch pedals
insert supplied screws/nuts and tighten
Enjoy

Gas:
I want to bring my gas pedal a little higher so I cut a 1/4" piece of wood the shape of the OE gas pedal and painted it black.
drill some holes, screw the wood to the OE pedal with "drywall" screws
drill a few more holes and screw the new pedal to the wood (3 screws)
Use screws to match the aluminum so it's perty.
Enjoy

I have never installed a dead pedal... but I would guess there are screws involved.

did mine this am, piece of cake really. the masking tape is key. That was actually the most time consuming part, finding a roll of masking tape in the garage.

how long did it take u guys to install all 4 pedals?

Kika

I only did 3, took me about 40 minutes from pulling the car out of the garage, to finish.

was in for an oil change before winter, so I had my mechanic install my pedals. He had a newbie do the install...looks nice, but as a perfectionist, I am not totally pleased.....

the brake pedal is a little off ot the right ( I believe becuase he used the existing holes from the mom pedals, which is ok, i guess).

and the dead pedal has some slack to it...it is not pushed far enough left before screwing it in...does anyone have any slack in thier dead pedal?

As a perfectionist, you should have installed them yourself, instead of
allowing the kid who cleans up to learn on your car.

i wish i did....i only learned that he did the install when i went to pick it up ;(

rub it in why don't you!

trickydisco

I recall in a past post, somebody mentioning slack in the dead pedal.
Do a search and perhaps you'll find it. Also, there were tips on the
install.

I took the dead pedal out and try to install it myself. I realized that it does not fit flush against the body of my foot well. Is everyone having this problem with the deadpedal?

Kika

If said "Kid who cleans up" used the 3/8 drill per the instructions, there should be a little play in the brake and clutch holes, to "straighten" them out and shift them slightly. when I did mine,there was a little play, so I tighten them a little, then straightend them out before cranking them down. Since the gas uses a screw, there won't be any play. But you could reposition and drill new holes.

clutch and brake and gas are fine.....its the dead pedal that doesnt fit right.......

Mine does not sit flat either but pulls up tight against the side and top and bottom so I'm overall happy with the install. The only way to really make it fit would be to bend it which is not possible based on the way it is built.
