Alloy Pedals

[Tan]

The brake pedal rubber on my '99 SL500 is starting to wear out.

Does anybody know if there are Alloy Pedals available for MB cars either by MB, AMG or any of the other good MB tuners?

I can't answer your question properly, but i just found the quote above amusing!

I am not suprised!

I should imagine that if AMG do not themselves that the likes of Carlsson, or Brabus do.

Sure you dont mean 'AMD/INTEL'

Seriously, i think they put alloy pedals in the SL60, but pretty sure, MB have never done. <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

for those that don't visit benzsport.com (thread: swapped my pedal rubbers)

This is such an easy mod

1. pull the park and brake rubbers off, they're just held on by the rubber lip.

2. unscrew the plasic nuts off the bottom of the gas pedal, and slide the clip out of the hinge.

take a pic of the worn out stinking old pedals:

now do the reverse with the new ones, and take pics to impress your friends on the forum:

whole job takes about 5/10 mins, I spent ages trying to get the new brake rubber on because it's new rubber and wasn't as flexible as the old ones, just keep trying and it will go on in the end, just make sure the lip wraps around the whole edge of the pedal base.

for w202 autos:
A 170 300 00 04 : gas pedal
A 170 290 01 82 : brake pedal
A 230 430 00 84 : parking brake pedal

for w202 manuals:
A 170 300 00 04 : gas pedal
A 170 290 02 82 : brake pedal
A 170 290 00 82 : clutch pedal
A 230 430 00 84 : parking brake pedal

they cost about £6 each including VAT.

the idea was MBenzNL's, and all part numbers and info came from him.

Good choice fuzzer!

Not only do they look good, they're 100% street legal, as reliable and well made as every other part on your car, cheaper than aftermarket and look awesome.

Someone at work said she'd heard that the aluminium pedals were less grippy than stock ones and were &quot;unsafe&quot;. &nbsp;Like MB would ever make &quot;unsafe&quot; pedals to go in the SLK and SL! &nbsp;Fools.

I'm certain someone at parts HQ is going to sh*t themselves soon... &nbsp;Not long after launching the R230 SL, stealerships the world over start ordering new parking brake pedals for them! <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp; Plus if an owner of an SLK needs a new pedal he will prolly be made to wait weeks because of a shortage, caused by mod-crazed w202/w124 owners who want the sexy pedals instead of their boring black rubber ones <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

I ordered mine today too  <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/banana.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':bannana:'>  will be here Tuesday but i'll pick them up on Wednesday, £20.28 I think for all 3 includin VAT.
Even the parts guy was impressed with the price/product and even more impressed with my print out off this forum  <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/banana.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':bannana:'>  with part numbers etc but most of all with the comunity we have here  <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

Im sure these are the pedals they use in the C class sports coupe when you fit the Evolution pack on it .. <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

 

[Aletank]

I've just fitted my new pedals &nbsp;<img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
A couple of snags fittin but nothin major
First of all I struggled a bit gettin the hinge pin from the Gas pedal but with a bit of leverage from a screw driver it came out, went back in no problem.
And the brake pedal rubber was a bit tight goin on, so with &nbsp;some Fairy Liquid &nbsp;<img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp;and a small screw driver to act as a shoe horn kinda it was soon on .
but al in all a very easy, effective mod &nbsp; <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/banana.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':bannana:'>

 

[fuzzer]

Ive just fitted mine too . I echo the gas pedal split pin . Was tight and the brake pedal rubber was quite tight now.

Looks cool

I can't wait for the daylight to see them <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/colgate.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':colgate:'>

Thanks for the heads-up Shude &nbsp;<img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/slayer.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp;...

This is going to be my second proper mod &nbsp;<img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'> (I don't count my 'Ring Silver Enigma' front indicator bulbs or my carbon-fibre text number plates as &quot;proper&quot; mods &nbsp;<img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp after my first mod of fitting SLK alloy wheel centre caps.

As soon as I get my car back from the bodyshop I'll be phoning the order through to the local stealer. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbs:'>

Those pedals look dead cool &nbsp;<img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

Perhaps 'Alloy pedals' could be the new MBClub membership give-away clue <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> with Avantgarde grille being club status confirmation heh heh heh.

Tan, I think the slk ones will work, just to be sure however:

Pull your park brake rubber off, have a look at the back, if it says &quot;124 427 03 82&quot; then you need &quot;230 430 00 84&quot;, then take your brake rubber off and if it says &quot;123 291 00 82&quot; then you need &quot;170 290 01 82&quot;, then take the pin/clip out of the hinge on your gas pedal, let it spring down and take the two tall plastic nuts off that hold it to the floor. Have a look on the rubber part of it (the inner plastic part on mine has a 220 number but that's not the whole part) if it says &quot;129 301 03 82&quot; then you need &quot;170 300 00 04&quot;. &nbsp;It will take you about 10 mins to take the rubbers out and check the numbers. &nbsp;If the part numbers are different then I don't have any ideas, but lucky for us MB were lazy and re-used parts throughout the range so I have high hopes <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> .

Thanks Shude, i'll give that a go.

Well,

I put my order in yesterday, it looks like I've nabbed the last gas pedal in Milton Keynes and the two brake pedals are coming in via Germany.

Any idea how long this should take? The parts guy was actually quite helpful but couldn't really give me a timescale for shipping from Germany. They may also offer me discount too but the price seemed great as it was being around £20 inc VAT for all three. <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/banana.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':bannana:'>

I think I paid about £17-18 for my pedals...

Will take about 1-2 weeks from DE. &nbsp;How will you cope waiting for that long? &nbsp;<img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
