How do you install these?
Just got these pedals. Of course... no instructions! Should I remove the rubber pedals first before drilling?

haha you got a good deal.
I paid $100 delivered for those. Two bad they are still sitting in the closet! I'm currently in power tool jail. I have none.. Basically you remove the rubber covers off of the old ones, use spring clamps or velcro to temporarily set the new ones in the desired position. use a marker or nail polish to paint the location of the holes. Get out the electric drill with a bit that can go trhough metal (the brake pedal is made of metal, others are plastic). Drill guid holes and then use the right size drill bit to accomodate your screws. I think you screw the new dead pedal on the left, directly over the existing dead pedal cover, you don't have to remove anything. p.s. I was going to use thinner to remove the porsche lettering from the pedals, no doubt they will smear and look crap. |
Ooh I like those and located in Canada. I'm going to order me a set as well.
|
Thanks! I'll be heading to home depot for a drill bit set after work! I can't wait! Haha! I've never looked forward to going to Home Depot so much before! :D Personally I like the black lettering. They are already difficult enough to see. :)

I installed these pedals over a year ago. It is my recollection that you do not remove the rubber covers. They install right on top of the existing pedals, rubber and all. You may want to verify this with the seller. He used to include instructions.
That was a great price. |
don't forget the velcro or the spring clamps. Sounds like a total pain in the arse to be working down there in that cramped space without them.
I think Home Depot will rent some power tools.. maybe you don't have to buy a power drill just for this mod. |
Ya the price was right. I have already "taped" them on just to see how they look. Haha! They look pretty cool! I don't mind getting a drill set, it's something everyone should have. I'll send pics as soon as I get em installed this weekend. Thanks everyone! :cheers:

bring the hardware with you. and see if you find longer/better screws.
they really cut corners on those. I'd put some loctite on those screws as well. I had one come loose during an autocross lap once. |
Thanks again PerfectLap. I'll bring em with me to HDepot. I want to take the rest of the day off now. Haha!
|
i installed a set of momo pedals, took the rubber covers off, as they come with some rubber on top.
but once you get under there you will see that you will need to get the covers off. and have fun with the clutch pedal (wow that thing is like drilling trough concrete) |
I'll be sure to get the hardest bits they got! Plus a couple extra in case. Hehe...
|
I tell you guys, I took my shoes off and the little buttons feel really cool under my socks! Haha! Sorry, I'm being stupid. I've had 9 cigarettes now just so I can go outside and look at the taped on pedals. :D

i wanna see, i wanna see...of course the pedals and the rest of your never ending modas..ahahahahaha |
I still need a drill. Haha! I'll show you my mods sometime soon. Hope your hood latch prob gets fixed soon. :cheers:

The solution for the pedal that is metal (can't remember if it is the clutch or brake) is to drill a pilot hole with a very small bit. That bit will be FAR easier to get through the pedal, and when you place the drill bit that is the size you need over it, the bit will naturally migrate to the pilot hole, and it will help hold it in place, otherwise the bit rolls all over the pedal - very annoying.
