Pedals : need recommend

[jakester888]

Guys.

Using donor parts from a 93 mustang LX. I've cut the gas pedal according to the install manual and it just looks bad and I don't know how to attach it.

Need a recommend here for a replacement pedal & maybe pedal bender.

Thanks, John.

Do yourself a favor and buty an aftermarket one from Breeze. I believe he sells the Russ Thompson pedal.

Russ Thompson is the way to go and he has the matching covers for the clutch and brake pedals.

I used heat to bend the pedals,,,,,,very easy.

Here's a picture of my Russ Thompson pedal with a home-made pad that looks more original. I also added the AC pads to the stock brake & clutch levers.

X3 or 4 or whatever we're up to for the Russ Thompson pedal! I like the matching clutch and brake pedal pads too:

Regarding the brake and clutch pedals; in my opinion one of the most important aspects of the build is to get the controls situated so that the driver is as comfortable with them as possible. I recommend that you mount the seat temporarily before beginning to modify the pedals so that you can have a real world test of how you will be interacting. I've not used one of the pedal benders; I actually remove the pedal arms, straighten them and then rebend (cold) using a big bench vise and 24" pipe wrench. You'll probably end up moving both clutch and brake to the left 2 inches or so. What I do is trace the shape of the pedal arm on a piece of cardboard before modifying it as a reference of the original shape. Then as you bend you can lay the pedals on the tracing to see how your changes compare without having to reinstall the arms. You'll still probably wind up putting them in and out a couple of times for fine tuning before all is said and done but in the end it is well worth the effort to make the car "fit" the driver.

Good luck,
Jeff
