Don't be such a puss! Install them, it really is NOT that hard. The gas & dead pedal take about 3 minutes each to install: o - align each on the OEM pedal o - drill two small pilot holes o - screw the aluminum pedal to the OEM pedal o - DONE! The clutch & brake pedals take about 15 minutes each to install. Two screws install in about 3 minutes each: o - remove OEM rubber pedals o - use double sided tape or spring clamps to position pedals. Make sure they are even. By design, the clutch pedal sits a little lower than the brake pedal, which is not really noticeable with the OEM rubber pads on them. However, this difference will be more noticeable when you install the aluminum pedals. o - mark the three holes on each pedal. o - use a titanium drill bit to drill the holes. Clutch will take about 10 - 15 seconds per hole, brake will take about 45 seconds per hole. o - Insert small bolt and snug up the nut on the back of the pedal. This is the most "pain in the arse" part, but once you get the nut started, use a screwdriver to turn the bolt and tighten the nut. o - repeat the step above 5 times o - DONE! Andy, I took the time to write this because I hoped I could convince you that it really is NOT that hard. I don't have much time left with my P-car (she goes back to the Lease Company at the end of May) and I am really going to miss the car. I am hoping I can convince you that the result is worth the effort. :thumbup: Yup, I think it's one of those "must-do" mods that is low effort compared to the huge cosmetic improvement that it provides. |
Tim,
Thanks for putting that up. It will make things easier when I get the pedals next week. Perhaps I'll even try it one night instead of waiting for a free weekend. |

I guess I was too late to convince Andy to install them. After you get them installed, make sure you tell Andy how relatively easy it was. :evilgrin: |

Took me 30 minutes AFTER the beers. Very nice look and grip. You should just go do it!

Is the group buy still on?

Being new to 996's, I'm also a little late to the party on this one...okay, A LOT LATE! I'd still love to get a set of these though. Any info/pricing?
Thanks, Tim. |

Sorry for dragging this thread up and causing confusion Dutchie! I know how you loved doing the group buy by the time it ended!
|
am i too late? :-)
|
Did you just really dig up a 3 year thread for an expired group buy? I see a banning in your immediate future :nono:

Thanks for resurrecting this thread. I found a nice set for my Tip on ebay. They were listed for a 997, but I contacted the seller and they had same for 996. Apparently, slight difference in the dead plate size between 997/996.
The installation details in this thread are very helpful, and I salute the contributors! :bowdown: http://i.ebayimg.com/19/!BjPLLg!!Wk~...Me-HQ~~_12.JPG |
Is anyone still manufacturing these pedas with the Porsche name etched in it?
The ones I see on ebay does not have the Porsche name etched. |
