OMG Pedals

[MavVP]

Ok, heres the story

Im slowly doing up my vp interior, and i got to the point where i looked at my pedals and i thought to myself, they look crap, so i had a brainwave (cough cough) and thought i'd go to Supa cheap and but myself a set of pedal covers, bearing in mind that i had no idea how they worked, but i thought that it would be a piece of piss to put on.

2 hours later and with much cursing and swearing, (sorry to the kids that were playing on the road nearby, more on that later) i finally got them on and they looked ok except for the accel pedal. The original pedal was longer that the "cool" one i was trying to put on, so it stuck out the bottom by about an inch. I thought well thats not too bad and it looks okay. Now for a test drive.

Now i've got a pretty broard foot, i take a size 12-13 shoe, but what i failed to take into account was that the brake pedal was also quite wide, i think you guys can see where this is going or in my case not stopping (Brake + Accelarator = No stopping, Just Reving). Sorry Kids.

In Conculsion, no one hurt or close ot being hurt

2 hours to put on
30 Seconds to take off

[oozinpsi]

how do u swap them over i tried in my vp but they were stuck there hardcore

[Mark]

are you talkin that u couldnt get the old pedals off??

[MavVP]

yeah the pedals on the Vp are one piece, they dont come off, otherwise I would have done what you suggested and just changed the pedals

[Mark]

they come off trust me u can take the whole pedal off... dont try and put it back together but.. i had to do it on a mates vn.. not good.. plus wretched has got the ss pedals on his veepee.. straight swap over

[VN-88]

i got size 13 feet and were steel cap boots for work os there wide i ahd same problem of barake and accel at the same time so wat i did was take the rubber bit of the brake and just moved it over really far to the left it works great now no problems and i sorta had to drill 2 holes for the bottom of my accelerator to fit it properly got a pic looks great with blue neons... trust me took me 15 minuts to reajust and no problemas now, ive had them on for like 8 months now, cops dont notice either lol

[patrix]

lol VN-88 i have the exact same pedals as you lol, and i have the blue neons under the dash, ur right about the cops not seein the neons :P works a treat

[vn2nv]

i thought neons were illegal if they are mounted externally.

[VN-88]

yeah they are illegal, but wat they dont no dont hurt them, plus my switch is right next to the neon so no one knows of them lol, did u have troubles with the little bits of rubbers coming of the pedals, i dont have any left now but u dont notice a difference

[patrix]

neons are illegal if mounted outside the car and inside, its just that placing the blue neons were me and VN-88 have placed them the neons cant be seen from outside the car, there just for interior looks anyways so the cops wont know there there unless they walk up to the car while they are on . . . . .. yer i did notice the little rubbers on the pedals coming off lol, i ahve got about half mine left

[VTSSDUDE]

So are the stock VN pedals the same as the VP pedals? I be interested in putting VY SS pedals on mine.

[MavVP]

Im getting a set of cheap neons just to see what they look like, but their the ones that are powered byt the cigga lighter, can i cut the wires and connect them up to a swtich of something? If so can some one direct me to where i might get some instructions
Cheers

Also how do you go about taking the original pedals off to replace them on the VP, do you need to cut them off and weld new ones on?

[BR377]

Yeah most neons will come with a cigi lighter plug, just cut the wires and do what you want with them, normally i would wire them upto the acc power source and with a fuse and switch somewhere along the line

[MavVP]

could i disconnect the plugs for the air con and use the air con button to turn the lights on, my air con doesnt work and im not forking out 600+ bucks to get it fixed. If so how would i go about it?

[seabs]

where is the clutch pedal?

[Mark]

i tapped them into the hazard lights.. because u can use the hazard lights when the ignition isnt on! not the same as a/c

[Brocky_05]

I got real pissed at trying to fit the pedals with those crap brackets so I threw the brackets drilled through the new pedals and the old pedals and bolted them in with small stainless bolts, no dramas.
Love the blue neons,how hard are they to rig up under the dash and how do you do it please.

[VN-88]

wouldnt no how to rigg em up... they were in there wen i bought the car... the guy selling it didnt even no they were there cause he was a guy who bought it from an racv auction but naywayt wen i was putting my pedals on and i was upside down i saaw these tubes and thought wat the??? found a pull switch and ... blinded my self with it tho lol....

ill try and draw u a pic of how to do the neons... i no enough to be able to do

blue is neons
red line is constand 12 volt or wat ever power ur neaons need, with a switch breaking it in 2 after the neons before the main power connection... this must be a consant power so its easyier
black line is a constant earth

[VN-88]

forgot pic

[Brocky_05]
