[BrApple]

what are you going for, grip or show?

for grip just get the autozone special ...

if you want show go with autovation, but they are slippery when wet, otherwise grip great

for the autozone ones.. how did you mod the gas pedal.. did you use longer bolts?

bought the car that way so i don't know how they where put on other then the previous owner made his own mounting brakets to make the pedals very secure as I guess they have a tendency to move around if installed how they come

kinda off subject but i need your opinion.. my heater control.. it only works on high and not the other speeds.. what do yah think might be the cause of that

I think you would get better answers starting a new thread in troubleshooting.

best idea but also a search will turn up that answer too

the gas pedal is plastic or hardened rubber so what i did was drill right through the middle of the pedal. 2 holes using the pedal cover as a guide.
IMHO, the clutch cover will eventually start twisting and eventually end up where mine is ............in the back seat somewhere!:mad:
autozone did have a set that didn't have the foldable clamps but actually came in a 2 pc set where you simply screw the pedal cover to a underside brace but i haven't seen them lately. when i do, i will make the switch!!

oh...you gotta be carefull too. I wear timberland boots which can be a little wider than avg, so be sure that you allow yourself enough room btwn the brake cover and accelerator pedal. safety reasons of course.

personally, i advise spending the the extra bucks for a nice set vs the $12.99 at auto zone:blackeye:

[99csvtraw]

yeah thats true.. i got the autozone ones and i kno what your talking about having some room between the acc. n brake.. im gonna have try to move the brake pedal over towards the clutch.
and i have to mod the accel. pedal cause the damn thing is think plastic.

I have a set of the cheap pedals... they're still aluminum though, for an MTX. Real cheap; PM me if you want them.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v415/matt151617/1113071654.jpg

[99csvtraw]

yah those are the pedals i already purchased.

[Matt R]

Just screw them into the pedals. Brake is metal so it's hard to do. You'll probably have to take the panel under the steering wheel area off to fit a drill in there.

Best pedals in my book are the brushed aluminum ones for the Cougar. The clutch and gas pedal covers just slip on like stock ones and you can replace the entire gas pedal assembly. Might not be the cheapest or the best looking, but for fit and function I'd say they are the best :cool:

I think I got the whole set for ~$70 through a Ford discount. The gas pedal is the expensive part, the clutch and brake covers are only like $10 each.

i got a set of Momos cheap from a friend brand new, dont remember what style they are, but they grip great and i had no problem bolting them up. and theyre shaped too, so they fit your feet better and it also makes heel-toeing a bit easier for us shorter people that have to basically sit right in front of the steering wheel...

drilling through the steel?? that would be a bit tuff!

Drilling through the stock pedals sucked!

i imagine you did it?
that to be a job. how long it take you.
i may be willing to do that.
did you spray rustoleum before applying the pedal covers?
with you living NE, I'm sure that your boots would probably carry some degree of salty water that would eventually drip and seem down to the steel and eventually cause rust.

[hotdimmes]

I actually have the aluminum autovation pedals. My dad helped and we got it done in about 1-1.5 hours. I placed the alum. pedals on and marked the holes then we drilled accordingly. It helps to put a block behind the pedals to keep them from moving. Definitely remove the cover underneath the dash for more work room. We did it with the same drill but, but when my brother did it, he said he broke a ton! I didn't think to spray anything before putting them on.

As long as you have sharp drill bits it's not bad at all.

Yup, those are the ones :cool:

[my98SVTturbo]

i have the cougar pedals on mine. very very nice. wouldnt go any other way.

[CoolBlackSE99]

Sparco pedal covers are pretty nice and I haven't had any problems with them being slippery:

Sorry the pic isn't the best... Drilling through the brake and clutch pedals did suck though...

[lakeside]

i would like to be able to hard mount the cougar dead pedal (i removed it from the cougar wreck i liberated the brake and accelerator from....basically detached it from the cougar carpet). anyone done this- or hard mounted any other dead pedal? (i know there was once one offered in the svt pedal package in the group buy).

thanks.....lakeside

[95pgt-t]

autovation sells a dead pedal for the tours

[97GLblack]

does anybody know the link to a how-to if one, of how to change the accelerator pedal out with the cougar? there's an auto near by and it would be cheaper then dealer if I still gotta buy the brake and clutch. i will check autozone for repair guide info, but I doubt it will be up there.

[lakeside]

glblack-

its a relatively easy swap.....but you are going to swap out the whole assembly, not just the accelerator pedal itself!

it will require you to get down on the driver floor of both cars to do. all bolts are reasonably obvious except the uppermost one, which can be a bear to get to...and get a socket on. total of 4 bolts, then lift the pedal assembly off the upper mount and cable. should take about an hour to exchange, longer if you are old like me! well worth the hassle.....a good high powered flashlight/work light will help a lot.

[Matt R]

You have to get in a horrible position to get to the bolts. I definately recommend taking the panel under the steering column off.

[95pgt-t]

remove the seat

[striker2]

remove the seat
you guys are wussies. i removed the interior fuse panel without taking off the panel under the steering column, much less remove the seat. did it suck? hell yeah. is it possible? most deffinitely.

also IIRC its only 3 bolts for the gas pedal
