Pedals

[BillyBhoy]

Has anyone changed the pedals in their Clio to the silver ones off the 172s?

Just wondering if it is an easy enough process.

 

[BillyBhoy]

Also does it matter if the pedals are from a mk1 or 2?

 

[ClioJohn]

i put ripspeed ones on, had to drill holes in the pedals...took quite some time

 

[Road_Shagger]

any other solutions?

 

[BillyBhoy]

Are those still legal then ClioJohn?

The 172s are complete replacements though so i dont think il need to drill anything...

 

[Road_Shagger]

expensive im guessing

 

[BillyBhoy]

Less than £50. Is that expensive in pedal terms?

 

[Road_Shagger]

for all 3 ?

 

[BillyBhoy]

Yes all 3 m8!

 

[ClioJohn]

yeah course they are legal, so long as they are securely fitted and dont present any danger.

 

[patty]

dont u have to have 50mm in between pedals to b legal? or is it another figure, i cant remember!

 

[BillyBhoy]

Well most pedal sets i have seen about say on them for off-road or show use only. Are yours different then?

So no-one has fitted 172 pedals to a non 172 clio?

Where do u get them for under £50? Renault quoted me £80+VAT!

 

[ClioJohn]

well so long as they have rubber inserts i think they are ok!

Pretender did his 1.2 up like a 172, I guess if anyone knows, he will...

 

[BillyBhoy]

Good point sir. Il PM him maybe...

They are second hand but have never been used... £80 + VAT is a f**king joke!

They look pretty hard to install! Let us know how you get on fitting them. Am thinking about doing this too.

Cheers

Hehe Ive had problems simply fitting the acellerator pedal (Ive swapped from the fly-by-wire to the normal setup) and its a git, you get it slightly out and it sticks at WOT - not a nice thing I can tell ya

 

[S-Dee]

Why not just get the actual silver pedals instead of the whole shaft aswell.....

 

[BillyBhoy]

Did you get it sorted eventually Roamer? What exactly was the problem...? and the solution?

S-Dee thers prob other reasons but dont think you can get the silver bits on their own..

 

[Black Fox]

Pretenders got Sparco pedals on his.

 

[BillyBhoy]

Pedals finally arrived. Accelarator pedal is a quick 5 min job. The other 2 is a totally different story, seems you have to do all sorts to get them on. Too difficult for me so im waiting till my Bruv has a spare hour or 2 to have a look...

 

[BillyBhoy]

Woohoo. Pedals are eventually on. Took my brother 2 hours to fit. Bit of a b*****d to be honest. Who needs Renault when you have a self labelled "competent mechanic" as a brother. Any questions/comments appreciated.

No sl*gging my £10 set of mats!

 

[cliosportcraig]

those matts are sh!t !! LOL the peadals look well cool ! why did u have to replace the whole thing and not the normal pedal bit ? would this be a task and a half for "NORMAL" people !???

 

[ClioJohn]

billybhoy thought yours was a new shape clio no?

 

[Bubbles]

It is a new shape clio.. you can see from the pic

 

[Big Iain]

new shape clio???? no!

 

[BillyBhoy]

Its not a new shape clio! It has just got new shape clio seats and rear lights. What made you think i had a new shape clio ClioJohn.

Had to replace the whole thing because they come like that. Worth it if you have the time/effort to put in.

Anyone recommend where i can get some quality mats from...

 

[viceroy]

what is that little black circle with the 2 little grey circles next to the light dimmer?

 

[BillyBhoy]

Its to fire up the NOS cylinders but also can be used as a magnetic phone holder.
