Aluminum Pedals from Gert

To follow up on Darren's post on the TT forum. Apparently they're made in the same factory and are duplicates of the Ruf pedals. I put them on the other night. Here's how they look installed...

I really haven't driven the car that much to notice, but I think not much because of the rubber *****. Appearance wise, there's no comparison. In truth, I had the Cargraphic pedals on a previous car and I like the look of them better. You could also "hear" your feet rubbing on the aluminum because they don't have the rubber *****.

Hi ESK

Do you mean the new pedals ? If so are the small black ***** shown, steel, alloy or rubber ?

Yes, very interested too. Like most people who have seen them on the site.

Thanks.
Colin

I was refering to the Cargraphics in terms of hearing your shoe against the pedal, especially when wet. The Cargraphics are mostly brushed alluminum with holes so they wore well. I had mone for about 2K miles and no sign of wear.

The new pedals (picture) are brushed aluminum. The ***** are rubber and seem to be in the right places. Having said that, I can see that they may show wear because the are more of a finished aluminum.

You guys should ask people with Ruf pedals for their input. I believe they're the same.

Thanks Eric.

Did you fit them or is it a dealer job ?

I did it myself. The dead pedal and the gas pedal are a breeze. The clutch and brake are a little more difficult to align because the clutch pedal is angled a little differently then the brake pedal.

The dead pedal screws right into the carpet with 3 self tapping screws.

The gas pedal drills easily because it is made of plastic - 2 screws and nuts.

The clutch pedal is plastic and drills easily - 2 screws and nuts.

The brake pedal is a little more difficult to drill because it is cast metal - again 2 screws and nuts.

A hint for the clutch and brake. Since they are black, I put duct tape over the pedals so I could see the mark where I wanted to drill.

Just take your time. Gert's instructions tell you what size bits you need. It took me about an hour.

Sounds good. Looks like another order then.
