Gas Pedal mount - replacement
Outside of the RD Racing billet mount - which is nice yet a tad expensive at $80 + ship - is there an easier way to fix or upgrade the gas pedal and mount? I realized I'm not getting full TB openening because the edge of the gas pedal is hitting the floorboard! The pedal will "wiggle" probably 1/2" side to side, and one way is enough to cause interference and reduce travel.
I also have the RD Racing billet pedals that are partially to blame, but aside from that is there an affordable Forum Fix?

the cable is not adjustable- and besides the cable is not the problem (it has enough length and freeplay at the throttle plates). THe problem is the pedal itself being wobbly enough to kind of kink to the side while pivoting and then hit the floorboard. If it was a tighter fit into the mount (meaning the rivot / pivot point) then it wouldn;t be as much of an issue...

Mike Bohannan made some, don't know if he has any left. Drop him an email at vettmike@mindspring.com. He was letting them go for $56 shipped.

If you have 1/2 side play in your pedal, it is only a matter of time before the mount breaks, do yourself a favor and replace the mount before it breaks. Remember, when the mount breaks they is a chance the pedal can becoem lodged under the break pedal, which, could cause a stopping problem.
When I first design the pedal mount, I was selling them at my cost to recover some of my investment, the pedal mount that is sold by DB and Mid-America is the mount that I designed and manufacture.
My agreement with DB is such that DB is the official retailer of the mount.

Give me a call on a pedal mount. CF members do get a 10% discount.
On your RD Racing billet pedals, are you sure you have the name correct. We do not make or sell any billet pedals.

To clarify.
I designed the replacement mount, I also manufacture the replacement mount.
My agreement with Dave from R-D Racing is he market's the mount.
I carry a couple of them with me when we race incase someone breaks one at the event, otherwise, I refer anyone interested in one to R-D Racing.
BTW, the mount is legal in NCCC in all class E, F, and G cars.
