MrKrispy1183 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) An oft-used, but not oft-modified area of our cars (I now understand why). I remember seeing that the "popular" pedal covers to use were the super-long Momo ones that Motorsport used to sell (there are still several sets on eBay). I wasn't fond of that set, and wanted a look that was more uniquely "me" and went with my whole resto-mod styling planned for the car. Here's my setup: Not the greatest picture, but I went with the Mooneyes Large barefoot (since I saw that I would be as long/longer than the stock accelerator pedal), and Razo pieces for the brake and clutch pedals. Those smaller ones were an easy install, but the Moon unit, geeeez. Had it for a while before I pulled the actual pedal assembly out of the car and brainstormed how to make it work Edited July 19, 2012 by MrKrispy1183 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrKrispy1183 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Nice, those look cool. How gnarly did you have to cut/modify the stock gas pedal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightRider Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I just went after it with a grinding wheel, I had to cut off quite a bit at both the top and the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddmanout84 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) The accelerator was a total pain in the ass to install, finding the best combo of angle, no rubbing, and straightness of holes to be drilled. Should have just welded in a flat plate to the curved pedal surface... Edited July 27, 2012 by Oddmanout84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKrispy1183 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Nice! Question for you, and I guess everybody in general, what's the best way to reattach the ball joint of the accelerator pedal assembly back to the throttle linkage? I have bolted everything back in place, but have yet to get everything connected (since I'm still waiting on a new master cylinder and a few other things to start driving her again) Edited July 27, 2012 by MrKrispy1183 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
