alloy pedals - which ones

[Dyewitness]

been looking at various mags etc and note that beside a lot of the pedals it says like for show use only......so question for the party people in the place is which ones should i get for my little puddle jumping 2002 1.4 16v dynamique?

OMP ones from Demon Tweeks

how do you install them

I wouldnt bother mate, I bought a set once and all the did was make the pedals too big and interfered with the normal operation of the pedals, thankfully my 172 came with them.. maybe you could fit 172 pedals ? might be a big job though

i got ripspeed ones, look good likes.

you need to drill holes in the standard pedals to fit them

to pass an mot you need rubber inserts, so i assume if they are for show use only they wont have the rubber inserts

 

[philip]

just make sure the bottom of the accelerator pedal sticks out to the left to allow you to "heel and toe" (nothing to do with heels, more like the side of your foot). Then buy the noisiest open airfilter you can get, and blip the throttle at every conceivable downshift - racer style. Itll make you happy for months on end ... Sparco do some too.

If thats a fact how come 172s dont fail on an MOT ?

i read that somewhere about failing an MOT unless you have rubber grips, think it depends what youre replacing.. if the car came with rubber pedals then you need rubber insterts if it didnt then you dont need them.

You do need rubbers for an mot! oo er!

but i like the new sparco ones they look proper i think i might invest in some!

Hmm, so shouldnt every 172/Cup fail its MOT ? that cant be right, manufacturers wouldnt put them on if they were illegal.

 

[powelly]

No i mean the ones that come with rubber silly they wouldnt put them on otherwise DOH!!

sparcos and momos etc are all illegal im not sure why im not even 100% sure if they are any more i think its the clippin on top bit they dont like causes accidents
