ok so i got bored today and went to the junk yard and got some stuff for the hatch. and i came across a random eg clutch pedal with the slave attached to it. took it home with me and look where it ended up
in my hand! lol j/k

eg pedal vs ef pedal(in back)

typical honda ef series pedal assembly

eg pedal attached

ugly i know(reminds me of a mazda truck)
how the pedals look normally

with the eg pedal attached

short video of ef pedal

and now the eg

after a few shaves here n there


after that, i realized that was ok but then realized the pedal still sat WWAAYY to far back. so i fixed that, ran into another issue and corrected it as well.
THEN i realized the width of the pedal where it mounted to the side of the pedal assembly was too long, so....i cut it



added some washers just to space it out


then i made a few adjustments to the bracket where the pedals sit and wala!

I don't know if I would say its the simplest, but I would say it could be the most least expensive. Great idea none the less. Anyone one with some sort of fabrications skills and the tools to do it (drill, hole saw, grinder..etc) could definitely benefit from this. The amount of time to remove the assembly is still the same. Then add personal R and D to their own work, verses purchasing a conversion that has already been proven to work with a money back guarantee is some times worth piece of mind.
I don't doubt this may become popular kudos to you sir.

oh no the only REAL issue here was/is the pin that needs to go back in the pedal/controll arm so it wont be so wobbly
I have also done this swap on my last 3 crxs and 1 civic! its the best way to do it. i use the complete eg pedal set or integra. and take the clutch lines too! i figured this out a few years back when i was going through clutch cables trying to use a stage 4 clutch and pressure plate! good find for you. but theres walk throughs on this everywere, jsut search. happy building
