Starting dead pedal.

[Guinness]

Well I got the metal and parts today to make one, its been mentioned on these forums before on how to make one, so Im givving it ago. Has anyone else got one, by dead pedal I mean foot rest, dummy pedal, u know the great piece of plastic or metal next to the clutch lol. Anyway would be nice to see for some ideas, Ill also post pics when Im done, probably have a go over weekend if I get a chance

[gazjones]

you going for the same style as gary t or more like the tt pedals keep us posted and if its hard to do!

 

[Guinness]

yer think al go same style as gary t as rubber molding would be hard

Good luck mate. The drilled alu look is fairly straightforward - even though you need to drill best part of 100 noisy holes! They suited my R pedals nicely. Tried thinking of how someone might be able to do a TT one but never really came up with anything. You would need to find some kind of rubber to suit but then you would need to fix -don't know if superglue would be enough. Best trying to keep it simple I think.

yer.

Made a start, cut the metal fits like a glove, and started the design for what pattern I want cutting in. pics below cos u all like them better than text

obviously going to sand down and polish up before putting in, think the sanding and polishing will help mask scrathces caused by feet.

cool keep us updated on how it goesand if you can get it like the tt pedals your going to have a pm from me lol!

Just Get One From Demon Tweeks

 

[Guinness]

demon twekes? cant find anything on there to fit mate, a link would be nice

 

[Guinness]

well finally finished the dead pedal, I think it looks good, obviously could look a lot better given a lot of time and more effort + better equipment, But overall I reckon it looks good and looks better than the original plastic one.

Original

New one

 

[lukey]

looks good, how have you fixed the rubber strips?

 

[mpm1987]

not a bad attempt atall, nice work!!

 

[Guinness]

arnt rubber strips just carfully placed black paper behind 2 make it look like it lol. Good aint it?

 

[rashcupra]

very impressive matey!!! looks really good if paper dont want to get it wet if i could change 1 thing it would be to make the the square cutouts slightly rounder to look more simular to the pedals but hey that still looks really good

 

[Guinness]

I tired making em round but, they were hard to make look the same, ie same curve so I gave up lol, o and the paper is laminated

 

[rashcupra]

good job anyway matey did you try the tt dead peddal to see if that fitted before??
