You do get a heart attack when you press the brakes and you get an earful of revs

the foot pedals... where a serious issue... If you remember in one of my post many years ago the pedal cluster and fuel pedal were put back together by panel repair shop run by Nanda... this what happens when you do things many years ago... but only can see a problem many years later when you put everything back together...

Im not even sure if its a measuring problem cos even the seat rails seems like its not in the correct place... but i seriously dont know.... anyways for now im just going to redo the fuel pedal...

So after everything was put back together... i found that the gas pedal was actually hitting against the brake pedal ... i had to bend the fuel pedal towards the right so that it would clear the brake pedal... 

I bought a gas pedal repair kit from LKW.

This is after bending the pedal towards the right...

Unhooked the pedal and took a grinder to the bracket and chiselled out the rest of the welds 


Prep'ed the area and put the pedal repair kit together... 






repair kit assembled in this manner (below) ... i couldnt use the s-joint supplied in the repair kit so i reused the old one... as seen below the new part is shorter then the old one... and would snag and jam the pedal when assembled... i guessing this is for a left hand driver car... 


Bolted the pedal to the floor....

hmmmm is there any difference?... it does feel better when driving but i think i cant where my basket ball shoes while driving

looking good with some nice new rubber pads...
