Styling Pedals

[PuntoKing]

I just bought some ripspeed pedals. How do i take off the old ones?

Its on a mk1 punto

 

[dazzdog]

You bolt the new pedals on top of your standard ones, make sure you take off the rubber bit first.

 

[PuntoKing]

do the rubber ones just kinda peel off it?

 

[dazzdog]

Yeah they just peel off

 

[PuntoKing]

it sez sumot bout drilling holes on the back of the packet. Do the pedals already have holes in them?

 

[custard]

unlikely,most need holes drilled.remeber to plan your posistioning and look to the rear to see if you have room for a nut

 

[PuntoKing]

I need to drill through the actually pole sotra thing that comes from the engine to the pedal? is that okey to drill through?

I was thinking maybe super glue haha

 

[thefishdude]

once you take the rubber off there should be metal plate under it. that you have to drill the wholes in

 

[PuntoKing]

Yes i no that but there are arms connected to the plate if yo a get me. The actuall arms that come from the engine have the metal plate on the end. To get teh pedals on i need to drill through these arms? would that be okay?

Do you understand what i mean

 

[custard]

well they dont actaually come from the ngine and since there the only set of pedals in the car(unless your a driving instructor then you remove the rubber feet and drill the pedals.
there just pieces of metal.as fro glueing them on your having a laugh. imagine and emergency braking situation as the brake pedal fies off!
glueing them would last about a day since you dont actually push down straight on the pedals while driving

 

[PuntoKing]

I don't think you understand what i mean. I have taken the rubber feet off and i can't just drill through the plate cuz there are those metal bars there. If i drill through it i doubt i could get teh bolt all the way through properly

 

[Apok]

What u mean is where the arm attaches to the pedal...no don't drill through that!! it it snaps off you loss the pedal all together!! and that will get u and most likely someone else killed, what u should do it to have the accelerator to the right of it, the clutch to the left, and fiddle the brake to where ever feels right and gives u plenty of room with out compromising structural integrity!

get some ( Gripfill or strong superglue from halfrauds costing 4.99. its like a little mixture

then get some black masketing tape andglue the pedel on the metal old one. and then masketape tight around it wihile it drys.

 

[oktopod]

Just drill an off centre hole...or 2-3 of them arround that bit
