Part information

I didn’t see any rust on mine until I was removing the accelerator pedal mount. I was already on my way to removing the HVAC.

You won’t get that registered with rust there. It’s dangerous because that plate is the mount for the vehicle controls.

Ok, so took it to my old Holden dealership here, as they still do repairs on the Holden, and they confirm rust on the pedal plate and outer bracket… no parts available. So, as you said, I need to find those 2 parts from a wreckers and fix them so they won’t rust….
Quoted price to fit them is under $1500, which I am happy about.

Thanks for the help with this.. 2 wreckers tried and nothing yet, finding the parts look to be the challenge

The same part in VF was made from high density plastic. I wonder why.

Do you know if that part fits VE ?

Ahh also, is there a bracket that attaches to the pedal plate? My photo and the guys at the shop seem to think there is… or the does the pedal plate just have a layered look?

No it doesn’t. The VF firewall is a very different thing.

So got lucky and a guy managed to source me a brand new pedal plate… any suggestions on what I can do to stop it rusting so quick??

I taped over the new sealant foam that is on the edge. Then scuffed it all. Painted in etch primer, then cold galv. I used PPG black cold galv. Get it from Hammerbarn sold as KillRust brand in a can.
