DBW gas pedal installation
I'm trying to figure out how to install my gas pedal it won't fit where the original pedal was at... Did you guys are make some sort of bracket or is it something you can buy. From the looks of it the pedal has to come closer to the brake pedal otherwise it hits the transmission hump. If you can post pics of your setup that would be awesome or if there is something pre made that can be used, let me know. Thanks

Re: DBW gas pedal installation
I am using a pedal out of a 2005 truck and I cut the pedal where it started to bend. Then I heated the crooked part and straightened it then drilled two holes in both pieces and bolted them together. I am at work so I dont have pics.

Re: DBW gas pedal installation
I will try later this evening when I get home. Mine is a 65 low hump. I dont have it installed at the moment because I am putting in floor patches and rockers. But i will get some pics of the pedal mods that I did.

Re: DBW gas pedal installation
Thanks dwcardfan for posting that up...my pedal is completely different than yours. Mine is made of plastic, no metal at all. I decided to play with the original base like br3 suggested and I think I can make something work.

Re: DBW gas pedal installation
Corvette pedal. Patterned a bracket after ROKCRWLN's rod to cable conversion.

Re: DBW gas pedal installation
Ok I got it installed and its pretty secure. I used the original metal bracket, I had to heat it up and beat it with a hammer to flatten out some curves, I wish I had taken a picture of it before I started because it looks nothing what it started out to be any ways here it is and please take it easy on my welds its only like the third time I ever welded but the metal bars I installed for support are on there good and quite frankly no one will ever notice
how it looks like mounted, sorta added washers for clearance and support and how it looks like mounted its pretty stiff Im happy with it

Re: DBW gas pedal installation
Your probably gonna want to punch me in the face for saying this; if you would have used the stock bracket as a practice piece for the welds, you probably could have just welded another simpler bracket instead.
lol, its kinda one of those "trying too hard to make things easy" situations. How does it sit flat against the firewall, with those random metal bars on the backside? If it works it works, but you've seen my posts enough here to know I'm not a pull-punches kinda guy.... If anything, I'd grind all that down and try to cut the bracket to a reasonable shape and size, as that doesn't look like its shape is a function of necessity.

Re: DBW gas pedal installation
The important part is the "for now". I've sucked at plenty of things, but stupidly kept doing them. Some turned into hobbies, others just really bad habit

Re: DBW gas pedal installation
Lol... You know I've beent thinking about what you were saying all day lol and thinking about the pedal base that I made and you were right, I tried too hard for something easy. I have come up with two different ways that would have made it so much easier. So I am going to try it again and this time not try so freaking hard lol. I will post once I get #2 done

Re: DBW gas pedal installation
I used the 2006 chevy Tahoe bracket and only bent the lower tab to the angle of the floor and used a couple of spacers between the bracket and fire wall.
