OK, I was tired of not having a real place to plant my left foot. I have seen a few other approaches but had not seen one that was particularly satisfying, so I started from scratch. The concept here is that the pedal is very solid, adjustable and looks factory. The pedal cover used is a factory brake pedal part with the rubber tang on the back cut off and the stainless plate flattened.

The pedal can be loosened with two allen bolts and slid up or back with about two inches of travel. I fabricated it out of aluminum with the exception of the clamping plate on the back side of the pedal mount, which is steel. The entire assembly is bit heavy for what it is (about 3 lb), but this was a prototype. It could be built lighter now that the details have been worked out.

The bulk of the assembly fits behind the driver kick panel, which required only slight modification as shown. Still need to radius edges and polish up the pedal arm, but functionally it seems to work well.

 

Here is a pic of the assembly mounted in the car--

 

The best place for you left foot is on a clutch pedal.

Good job, I guess you work in a machine shop.

 

Thanks...just garage fabrication.

 

That would have been a much more substantial pedal project.

 

Very impressive piece of work!!! If you want to sell one, i'm first in line

 

Perhaps that is why no one has tried.


I like your work there. Very clean and professional.
Useful if I could as the SRT6 needs it in the twisties.



But, the wife drives the SRT.

 

Dude this looks awesome. Great work!!!

 

Thanks. If there's enough interest I'll try to post design details so others can reconstruct. Maybe Rob would be interested in making a kit available. It requires a modest level of machining ability.

 

Nice Work . . . Not for me but I salute you for a great job of design and fabrication!

 

Me likey...nice job

 

craig as always you have a first rate project! nice to see you around!.

 

Thanks, Steve. I'm always lurking somewhere. Good to see nostalgia keeps you invested!

 

Nice. But how much does that thing weigh? Your car may now be slower!

 

Nice work. I have 3 pedals already, and an AMG dead pedal in mine, but if not, I would be asking for one of these in a hurry...

 

As I indicated in the first post:

The entire assembly is bit heavy for what it is (about 3 lb), but this was a prototype. It could be built lighter now that the details have been worked out.

Not that I haven't shaved plenty of weight elsewhere, but I can probably push around the extra 3 pounds and not be too embarrassed.

 

You're lucky! You have an SRT!

That would kill my poor N/A!

Like I said, very nice work.

 

looks good, well done.

Beautiful job!
