Thanks guys.

I had read about how difficult it would be to drill through the brake pedal, so I was prepared. My cordless drill isn't that powerful, so I didn't even try to use it. I just broke out my seldom used old electric drill. On top of that, I bought a new set of drill bits. I then took advice I read here or on another site and started with a very small pilot hole, and enlarged the hole with different drill bits until reaching the desired diameter. Lastly, I removed the plastic owner's manual holder under the steering wheel in order to get a better angle with my drill. After taking these steps, it was rather easy to drill the holes. I made marks on my rubber brake and clutch covers and drilled through rubber before going through the substrate. I believe the rubber acted as a guide and prevented the drill bit from sliding around on the metal or plastic.

I hope these tips will be helpful to the next guy.

Edit - I forgot to say that I didn't use the rubber brake and clutch covers in the final install. I used them as guides and removed them before attaching the metal covers.

Do you mind me asking where you got them and how much they cost?

ddb · 07-03-2007, 03:47 PM

No problem. I bought them on eBay for $69.99. Shipping was rather high at $25.00. The seller's name is orangehuang531.

i poped my gas pedal off and now I can't get the ball back in the cup on the back of the gas pedal, do you know how to get it reconnected/

ddb · 07-07-2007, 04:41 PM

Sorry gpminow, no experience reconnecting the gas pedal. I'm sure someone with knowledge will chime in.

Good luck, and post some pics when you're done.

Very nice, ddb. The new pedals are a much-needed improvement over the stock ones. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the set? I assume the set of three came with the dead pedal, too?
