Default Pedal kit for a C3?

Pedal kit for a C3?


I was wondering if anyone had wanted to change the look of the stock pedals,& put an aftermarket pedal kit on? If so,where'd you get it? If not,I need to change my brake pedal anyway.With my size 13's I have very little room to put my left foot along the left side,so I was considering cutting the width down a couple inches,off the left side.If there was a dress up pedal cover that looked good,I could put that over it afterwards,& match the accelerator to it.

Here's the only place that I know of that makes custom pedals for C3's.
You could use their standard C3 pedals or have them custom made to any size. Go to their products page. www.ultimatepedals.com

those ultimate pedals are cool... but have you ever tried drilling through the brake pedal on a C3? Major PITA.

Yeah,thanks,I just found those,but I might still have to trim the brake pedal,because I'm sure its the stock size...I wonder how much for a custom size since they are a bit pricey(but not unreasonable,I guess) http://www.ultimatepedals.com/catalo...hp?cPath=29_31 ---Another suggestion I got was to swap out my auto pedal for a manual.I kinda like the shiny ant-islip aluminum look though

Nah, it was easy. Nothing major about it. Took under a minute to work on each pedal.

Those Sparco's look good. Redson, why not measure the width you want your pedal, give this dimension to Ultimate to have made and when you get it you can cut your brake pedal to match? The hardest part of installing mine was having to bend over to drill the holes...(Oh my aching back)

You aint kidding! I'm 6'3" and over 200 lbs.,& I recently had both seats out replacing the carpet,and I could only get one arm all the way up front under the steering wheel on the drivers side,so I'm not sure I'll be the one drilling holes,if its required
