Monaro Pedals on a VZ

[Scroopy]

Hi Guys,
I have a VT and I put the Monaro pedals on there and it looks tops, so I bought my brother the Auto ones for chrissy I’ve had a 2second look at his accel pedal and I notice the shaft is different so I want to know how I would go about installing the pedal onto his car. It’s a VZ Calais. Brake and foot rest are a 10 second job no worries there just the accelerator pedal I have a spare shaft off my old car (VS) if need be.

The accelerator on a VZ is completely different to previous models as it is an electronic one, ie. no cable, it has a sensor to tell the computer how far down you've pressed it, therefore you need the specific VZ one like here :

The actual installation of the pedal can be quite difficult, and requires you to almost dislocate your wrist lol... There are two bolts holding the throttle assembly in at the top, basically they both need to be undone, and the sensor connection needs to be unclipped. Then it sorta just slides up, and you can slide the new throttle assembly (with alloy pedal) into place (Then re-insert and tighten the bolts accordingly).
