Stainless Steel / Brushed Aluminium Foot Pedals

[JOG]

Good news potentially

Just spoken with the chap who makes custom made pedals for theT6 manual and he is meeting up with a DSG T6 owner tomorrow to get the sizes, shapes etc to start making them.

Conversation below:

Thanks for getting in touch
I’m literally meeting up with a guy near me tomorrow so I can size the auto box pedals up and make the first set. Soon as they’re ready I’ll having them up on fB or eBay for sale

Should be a couple of weeks he told me. The guy is Leigh and said he will let me know when they are ready.

Will he fashion up a foot rest cover too?

Can’t see any reason why he couldn’t. So long as he can take measurements to create a template.

Omg I am like a kid in a sweetshop , lol nearly typed “Sweatshop”.

Can’t wait to get these on the van

Texxaco, do you have a link to the stainless pedals, are they a straight swap?

Hi @David Whitley they are a straight swap. I think as these are the first ones I am checking there are no issues, let me ask for some info/link for you.

I know they will make such a huge difference when they replace the rubber ones.
I will post pics once they are fitted. Just need the footrest now.

Cheers Texxaco, they look the part.

How are you getting on with these? I'm interested in a manual T6 set.

I've spoke to the same guy as @Texxaco, I sent him a load of pictures of the pedals and he's got the measurements and starting to design them... He said he's hoping to CNC cut them soon but works getting in the way....

Choice of 'VW' 'T6' or 'DSG' logo's

Mine arrived today and were fitted within the hour.

 

[JasonW]

Did you not get the footrest plate as well @Texxaco .?

Ah you got me! If I were to polish them I would thencreate something else to clean and polish.
Sod that there is enough to do.
Thinking I may either bead black silkaflex into the grooves or glue Rubber beading in them.

Leigh hasn’t designed one yet @JasonW.
When he does though I will get one although @Ukfozzybear has for one from a Volvo which’s look good.

Yep, my concern would be whether there is sufficient “grip”.

How did “ovloV” address the “grip” challenge?

(“ovloV” as that is all you see when he runs into the back of you!)

Received the stainless pedals for DSG, does anyone know the best way to attach. Should the rubber be removed then drill or drill and attach on top of the original pedal covers. TIA. Less that needs to be done the better for me, I’m not the best at DIY.

Remove the rubber then put the pedals up to the aluminium pedal. Mark the holes and punch a mark where you need to drill. Then slowly drill a small hole then open it up to a 4mm hole.

Did it today and really want to hard.

Most importantly take your time.
