Mk1 pedals... the things wont budge!

[Audin_RT]

Ive fitted some race pedals... well sort of. Ive fitted the clutch and brake pedals but the accelerator is all plastic and looks like it doesnt come off. How can i get it of and get mine on???

 

[Phil 99]

dont think it does

I always thought you just drilled through it and botled the new pedal on top

 

[Tom_16v]

Its not a pedal as such, it clips onto a bar type thing on the accelerator.

You have to put the new pedal on top.....

isnt that illegal??? and wont it stick out over the other pedals? if this is the way then ill just do it what the hell but dont wana fail my MOT cosa it

Yeah just place it sensibly over the old plastic pedal and drill the holes for it then bolt it on !! Easy as pie !!

depends. Most replacement pedals are for off-road/show use only.. and will fail. There are some nice silver ones in Demon Tweeks tho, £19.99 (They also come in Blue and Red I think..) and they are road legal.

 

[Audin_RT]

will these fit round the holes that ive already drilled? i need road legal pedals MOT is soon

I aint got a clue mate. I am thinking about getting them - not got em yet.

They nice cus they just look like nice pedals.. no branding etc.. on them, and yea.. Legal apparently.

theyre not bad are they, sweet!

might need a new bee sting aerial too, mines gone rusty should they go rusty???

 

[Daz]

No..

Well, I dunno - I painted mine in Satin Blue to match the car (was originally Silver, Brushed Alloy Colour).

But those pedals do look nice in the pics..

 

[Audin_RT]

what paint did you use? just normal satin paint and nothing else?

 

[Daz]

Just normal spray paint - could be for metal/plastic.. dunno, was from B&Q.. heh.

No primer or anything tho..
