wizard101sco Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Morning all, Is it ok to drill through the car pedals to add aftermarket ones? I heard sometime ago that you can only drill if your not going through the arm of the pedal.Thus you cant use the pedals that have the screw going through the middle of the pedal. If this is a load of rubbish, is it a pain to drill through the car pedal to fit them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawdreamer Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 sounds like bollix to me, Id have said aslong as you dont compromise the arm of the pedal(weaken it) then you should be right. cant honestly recall ever hearing anyone say there was a law or anythin against it, just common sense so ya dont slam ya foot on the brake and [KERSNAP] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Believe it or not.. but drilling holes into a pedal does weaken it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escort boy Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Iirc it's illegal to fit pedals which are too close together and would fail an MOT or summit. This is due to the fact that you could press 2 pedals at once and cause an accident.I was told they would have to take out my pedals to drill through them because they could get the drill to go through them so I just left it =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard101sco Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 That would mean there isn't really that many aftermarket pedals I can buy...Such a pain in the . Cant find any I like thats not added by not drilling holes in the middle of the accelerator pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeeWee Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Classy They looked absolutely fine, obviously by the time the bolts were cut level.You couldnt see all the fittings like you can in the pics unless you got down on your knees to see (which you dont do often).
