Saw an ad yesterday, I think on Facebook Marketplace for a gas pedal that mounted on the bug pedal cluster casting but the spring loaded gas pedal "swung" from a bracket attached in place of the accelerator pivot.
The ad said it was made in Spain.
I can't find the ad now. Has anyone else seen it? |

I saw something that sounds like it might be what you’re looking for on Instagram. Ratodegarage was the username. I’d post a pic but I’m not sure how. Hope this helps some. |

Yes, that's it. The other pedal I saw in the ad was more arced but it's the same mechanism. I can't get an image off the page but they have contact info.
In this picture the throttle cable is pulled at bit of an angle but that looks like it could be sorted

I see a lot of unique products south of the border for our VWs. I’m surprised that some enterprising Samba seller has not created some kind of partnership to sell/distribute these innovative products. |

Pros/cons either way depending on your driving style and what you have become accustomed to. Other than my VWs every car I’ve owned over the last 25yrs including my 2 most recent purchases a 18 Audi S5 and a 85 C10 Silverado the pedals are of the hanging style.
I like it! |
