Exactly!

I've had no problem with accidently pressing the gas pedal during braking. I was concerned about it, which is why I only went with the 1/2 inch extension.

 

Okay, thanks!

 

For months, I thought that the cardboard piece was some kind of template. I think I finally understand now.

So, if we call Ultimate Pedals to place an order, can't we simply ask for a "Seattle_Sun Special" rather than giving them some long-winded explanation on what hole to flare out from, etc.? Don't the have a record of the pedal design they created for you that they can just copy for us to buy?

 

Ha, me too.

 

Thinking about it, I believe the bed is on the pedal arm and not the pedal itself! Sorry for the mix up, but it's been awhile. Same idea though

 

I just ordered myself the pedal last week and am waiting for it to arrive. Seattle_Sun, do you know the approximate thickness of the base of that rubber pad? I discussed the options with them and they suggested I stick with their poly "studs." I do want to source a rubber pad to use versus your cardboard one though.

 

Brumma, how did you spec out the pedal when you ordered it? Did you ask for the "Seattle Sun Aston Martin model"?

 

Naw, it wasn't that easy. I called them up and emailed a link to this thread while we were on the phone. He did seem to be familiar with this particular pedal, though I'll see once it arrives. I'll let you know for sure. Unfortunately I can't find my notes with the name of the gent I spoke with, but he answered the phone both times.

By the way, did you see my comment regarding your brake pad recommendation in the other thread?

 

It's been awhile, so I don't really remember the thickness. Just unscrew the pedal and you'll be able to see the rubber pad thickness.

 

I was hoping to avoid having to do that... Oh well. The new pedal arrived today just in time for me to do so. I actually thought it was going to be more difficult to get the pedal off, but the hard part was wringing under the scuttle to get at the pedals. I did as you did and just put a piece of cardboard in there temporarily. I found a sheet of rubber at Lowe's that I will cut to size tomorrow.

 

@ karlfranz - I seem to have received exactly what I was counting on, which is the same as Seattle_sun showed in his post.

 

I just installed my new gas pedal with the half inch extension like the pictures Seattlesun posted. I called Ultimate Pedals and spoke with Robert. He seemed to know exactly what I needed to match the other stock pedals. The new pedal arrived in about one week and just bolted right up using the original 2 torx screws. Had to pay an extra $25 to get the "Heavy Bevel" edge to match other pedals. Around $100 complete and delivered. If interested order Model 749 with Shiny Smooth finish and Flat Grip Insert. Heal-Toe much easier now. Wouldn't have thought half inch was enough but it seems to be about right.

 

Thanks for the info. Just got off the phone with Robert and got one ordered. He says he's been getting quite a few orders from 6-Speed and Pistonheads members lately.

 

Yeah, I posted this thread on PistonHeads a couple days ago. Think I'll order a set now too.

 

Pedals ordered! Now all I need to do is learn how to heel/toe.
