Default Elite Engineering Pedal Set Installed

I installed my new pedals and I must say they look right at home in the footwell with the other Z-pedals.

The dead pedal was extremely easy to install; however the gas pedal was a bit more challenging. After contorting my body into the footwell for a better look I decided to just use "the force" and managed to blindly get the gas pedal on after two attempts.

Jeff as always was fantastic to do business with and delivered everything as promised. Oh, and the quality of workmanship is Top Flight, Grade A, #1. Thanks Jeff.

Very nice!

The use of a mirror can be a great help when installing the shoulder bolt into the gas pedal.

Sorry, it took me a few times to figure this one out also.

During the design, I must have installed and removed about 25 pedals. I thought there had to be a better way

Nice. How do they compare to stock when heel-toeing?

If you notice in the picture the gas pedal is slightly wider than stock at the bottom left quarter. This offset aids a great deal in heel-toeing.
