Shiny pedals

[BTB 500]

OK, I'm officially shiny now - thanks to Shude and others for the great info. posted previously.

Brake one was a bit fiddly, but managed the whole thing without a single plaster required!

Oh and I got the standard response from the parts dept. guy - "wow, these are cheap!"

Very nice. Anyone else noticed that the park brake studs are a different shape to the rest. Thats not a criticism, there're all the same, even my departed coupe.

How much and where from Bill?

Yup I noticed, luckily the parking brake is small and out of the way ... would be much more noticeable if the other two weren't the same!

Cost was £24 all in, by the way.

Any reason the parking pedal has a different vehicle code and oval dots?

Don't know, sorry. These are the part nos. that were researched and found by others some time ago.

BTW the accelerator part above is the whole pedal - remove the pivot pin from the old one, let it drop forward, and undo the two plastic nuts that hold it to the floor. The other two are just the pads, you simply pull the old rubbers off and put the new alloy ones on. As mentioned, it's a bit of a fiddle getting the brake one on properly due to the size ... get the right hand side and the top on first, then the left side, then finally the bottom.

Old posts will give you the part numbers for manual cars (search on 'shiny pedals', or 'alloy pedals'). The ones above fit virtually all autos AFAIK, seem to remember there's one model where you leave the existing accelerator pedal in place and just replace the cover (as per the brake), rather than using the whole new pedal.

These OEM sets sell regularly on eBay for £40+ !

There is a parking brake pad with circular dots too now, and also MEGA expensive oval stud pedals for brake and gas.

I am still trying to find the part numbers though. New W211 "sport" has the parking brake with circular dots, anyone got one? They also have a "dead pedal" with matching studs for your redundant clutch-foot

Accelerator & Brake appear to be SLK parts from the part numbers, the parking brake is from an SL, as the SLK has a normal handbrake - that would explain it !

The pedals are alloy btw, not chrome.

Out of interest, on my R129 the old ones I removed had 123, 124, and 129 part numbers on the brake, parking brake, and accelerator respectively. So they obviously don't change the pedal sizes very often!

(fortunately for us)

And all the other 'Chrome' that you can buy is real chrome? I think not.

 

[BTB 500]

OK let me try again. The pedals have an aluminium type finish, not "chrome like".

Quite right !!!

I wouldnt mind one of those , it'd suit my "dead leg" perfectly. If your gonna seek the part Nos' Shude?
