I will check my NB vs NA pedals tommorow, and if anything stands out I will let you know.

That doesn't look right for an NB either. From memory my pedals look like your brother's NA and I know I can heel and toe with the inside and outside of my foot, so they're no more than with width of a size 10 shoe (ball of the foot on the brake, little toe in the accelerator).

Thanks guys.

Much appreciated.

so annoying.
Thought I was done with this job and then I sort of sat back and realised.
It is not obvious to me anyways why this pedal box sits different.

Guess I will have to try and find another one.

Its not from an automatic or something is it?

compare the busted accelerator pedal to that one, you might get away with bending it over in a vice.

i need to do this sh*t soon and i'm not looking forward to it.

It would appear not.

Autos have a pretty big brake pedal.

Yeah i thought about doing that but am worried it would not work or even just weaken it and i would have to do it all again.

UGHHH :evil:

Looks bent Mark.

They bend fairly easily, and given the battle it is to get them out I would not be surprised if it was bent at some stage during removal...

Lou, you pulled it out I presume, is that possible?

If it was me i'd just bend the sucker into place but I'm a sledgehammer-egg kind of guy ;)

Thanks ZOSSY!!

I thought of that.
Was just worried i would screw such a nice new looking one up.
Or i would bend it over and it would not be right.

I should be able to bend it in the car right?
I would not have to pull it out again ??
Please.. PRETTY PLEASE say I CAN DO IT IN THE CAR :cry:

A good vinyl wrap will cost you the same as a good respray, much for a much really. I was seriously considering it myself til dad offered to teach me to spray.
I am still contemplating having my bonnet wrapped in black. I'm looking at about $200 for that.

Mark,

As I put in my PM, you should be able to bend it in the car without to much hassle. use a pipe spanner or similar to get some leverage and you can control where the bend happens.

Good luck and let me know how it goes.

I think he has moved back to working on his bike now, but some James Squires might change his mind =P

Had a little time this Arvo.
Tightened the pedal box up and applied a little force to move the accelerator pedal closer to the brake pedal.
Seems to have worked mostly.

It is not 100% but maybe with a little more persuasion it might get there.

I have noticed the pedal is stiff with the cable connected.
Does anyone know if I can just use some motorcycle cable lube to free it up or is a new cable on the cards?

The clutch also has a fair bit of free play before it starts to disengage but I believe I can just adjust that out.
More time with my head under there !!!! Ugh!!
