Installing Pedals
I'm out installing some new pedals this morning that require drilling. The brake and clutch pedals are covered by a the rubber OEM pedal covers that are simple to remove. The gas pedal has a hard plastic pedal cover and I can't seem to figure out how to get that thing off...
Does the gas pedal cover even come off? And if so, how?

You literally have to tear the sucker off - I used a set of Vice Grips to pry the top back, then the rest slides off the pedal if you pull down.

Re: Installing Pedals (B2FiNiTY)
I've heard the gas pedal is a b!tch to remove, how did you get it off Flux?
Next problem has been finding good places to drill on those pedals. Not many places that have the clearance behind them for the nut, especially the gas pedal...

Good choice Flux, I have OMP's on mine. They do the job nicely and help me to Heal-Toe alot easier. Also great for trail braking at the track. Hell, they make controlling the car with the pedals easier altogether.
Good luck,

Re: Installing Pedals (Dr Pooface)
Any pics of them installed? Where did you finally end up drilling the holes (for those of us who want to install the same pedals)?

Re: Installing Pedals (Cosworth)
Flux - what material is the surface made out of? it doesn't look rubberized... would it be slippery when wet?
OMP does have these rubber inserts that fit into the pedal holes - but the guy I bought the pedals from said they really don't help anything.
I don't have a digital camera to snap some quick photos, but I'll borrow one and talk some photos that will show the pedals and where I drilled...

Re: Installing Pedals (Flux)
Flux, you answered a post of mine last week when I was asking about Razo pedals... Essentially, you recommended the same ones you just installed, and I'd also like to know where to get those OMP pedals!?
I see you got them off some guy instead of retail; do you know where he might have got them from (web)? I tried the OMP website that was posted in that thread to your response, but I couldn't find any pedals on that site!?!

Re: Installing Pedals (BlackAckeR)
I got the pedals from http://www.ompusa.com. They are the 1000 pedals and are on sale right now for $30.
I called to order and spoke with a guy there that was very helpful.

Re: Installing Pedals (Dr Pooface)
Thanks for the ordering info, Dr. Pooface and Flux...
Looking forward to the pics; does the gas pedal cover the entire metal piece you attached it to?

Re: Installing Pedals (Flux)
One last question on this thread; how would it be to screw the OMP pedals into the rubber/plastic pads on the gas/brake/clutch, instead of taking those off, drilling metal, and using bolts? I'm sure the bolts are more secure, but I was thinking if I didn't like them, or wanted to go back to stock, it would be a b*tch to return them to their previous condition...
Has anyone done that? Is there enough rubber material for screws to get a firm grip into?

To go back to stock (believe me you never will, pull off the gas pedal cover and you will see it is a 20 cent piece of cheap plastic) you can just unbolt the OMP pedals and slip the OEM covers back on - they will cover the holes.
