Default Gas pedal

If you have an early C4 and your pedal mount breaks, this may help. I got one for a newer C4 and it is made much stronger. Crappy pics below, but you can see the difference.

Does the newer reinforced version fit as is or does it require some
adaptation for an earlier year?

FWIW, CF member VettMike offered a machined aluminum replacement
which was sold through R-D Racing. When VettMike passed away
in May '07, his widow had a quantity of the brackets remaining
on hand.

Contact Carolina C4 Racer for information about whether any
brackets remain and how to reach Mrs VettMike to purchase.

Perfect fit, no mods. Taber is local so I got it this morning and had the car on the road in an hour.
Thanks, I did a search and found the VettMike thing. Did not think she would have any left, 3 years later. Does anyone know if she actually still has them ?

Anthony (Carolina C4 Racer) would be the person to talk to.

A post last October indicated that there were still a few brackets
available. The link in my previous post provides the means to PM
Anthony. A 2007 post has a Ph# for him.
