I'd suggest leaving the old pedal pad in place to grant more "Rocket Box cred." Onlookers will know you're a serious boxer and in no way a noob when they see you plant your muddy boots on a pad with some obvious miles on it. _________________ '87 Westy in Wolfram Grey Metallic |

Look at the wear on that step. That dude is so OG I'll bet he calls a hashtag a pound sign. _________________ - Jim

I’m all about street cred.
And thats the clutch pad which I mistakenly chose’cuz it was less worn.
I might have to switch it back to the brake pad which had more “cred”.
Incidentally this brake pedal came from the “Vanabolt”. 🤣🤣 _________________

Street cred AND unique provenance. Cool. _________________ - Jim

I like the latest rev. For some reason having a pedal floating midship doesn't raise any questions for me, lol! Any issue with the screws loosening up over time? I suppose Riv-nuts could always be added down the road to remedy that. _________________ '84 Adventurewagen 1Z Tdi, '89 Tintop ABA, and a 86 Syncro tintop WBX. |

I used M8 riv nuts.
I had to re-weld the pedal to square it up.
Washers the thickness of the door card.
Otherwise it would pull the rivnuts out.
Its really stable, it doesn't move at all.
I don't think it will come loose. _________________

I must have missed when you switched from sheetmetal screws to M8's. Lining up riv-nuts with countersunk hardware is always a fun endeavour. Well done! _________________ '84 Adventurewagen 1Z Tdi, '89 Tintop ABA, and a 86 Syncro tintop WBX. |

I used 1/8 pilots with a rotabroach holecutter, it was dicey.
And luckily the rivnuts came down at center.
Ideally this would have a triangular 3-holer nutplate with an "extension handle" maneuvered from the ashtray hole. _________________
