The ULTIMATE Dead Pedal

[Rider90]

I've seen what KB has to offer and I'm pretty disapointed. Has anyone experimented with other dead pedal setups or have made your own? I'm thinking that if I cannot find a complete assembly online I will do some testing with a piece of 2x4 under the carpet. This isn't a foot rest that I'm looking for. The dead pedal in the Corvette is exceptional, as well as the CTS-V. For those that know what feel I'm talking about, how do you suggest I achieve this?

I thought the KB one was a pretty good solution. Have you driven or sat in a car with it? It has to beat the hell out of a 2x4.

You might want to check the salvage yards for a dead pedal out of a "fox" Mustang.

I made one for my ole 02 CVPI. It worked great. But I had to hack up the kick panel to make it work. I was going to remove it from the car when I turned it in for a new car, but I plan to get the KB and avoid hacking the MM interior.

No offence, but the wood idea would be chinsy... My .02

The wood idea for an experiment beats the hell out of getting something fabricated. Experiment is the key word. If I like the feel I'll go with steel and I'll make it look pretty.

I have never sat in a vehicle with a KB Dead Pedal. Nor have I been able to research it on their website, which is still developing for the 9th month. I've seen pictures and for $75 it may be worth it to some, but I'd pay much more to have something much stronger. The pictures make it look weak and generic, but hell, maybe in person that will all change.

Does anyone have any pictures of it? I have not been able to find any. This is one item I want to add to the Marauder when I get it home. I need a place for that left foot.

The KB dead pedal was the first Mod I installed, use it all the time with some spirited cornering thrown in. It's a bolt on item and in my opinion well worth the $75.00. Before throwing in the towel and fabricating one of your own, see if you can find one locally.

I think Joe (BigJoeP) has one, I'm not sure. I'm not one for getting behind someone else's wheel and attempting to break something. Does this thing just mount to the plastic? or does it hit steel behind it? Any more details would be appreciated...

Is the Kenny Bown DP the same as the Dyno Pros one?

Dyno Pros just makes a cover for the KB Dead Pedal. I have my cover lying around here, as well as the E-Brake cover as I don't want it digging into my leg. I position my left foot up and into the corner.

I made mine out of wood. I also added grip tape to it. It is about 8" long 2 x 4 pice and doe not come in contact with the e-brake cable or pedal. I'll see if I could get a pic for the masses to see.

Pics would be great if you could find em' Brian.

Folks, this is something along the lines that I'm looking for. I believe this link is just selling the cover and not the assembly.

I don't care much for the bling, I'm looking for function. I like the shape and assembly of this, and I don't think I want a dead pedal that mounts to the side as I don't want any movement or bend so I'd put it on the floor..

Actually, I have to take them. I talked about this in previous threads without any visuals and got no responses. I'll see if I could get some photos in tonight.

Its been awhile since I installed the KB dead pedal, but it is backed up by another bracket that is bolted to sheetmetal. Its not a lightweight setup at all. It comes with installation instructions that were pretty straight forward from what I remember. The only thing I had to do is run a tap through the welded-on backup plate nuts.

I'm 6'2" and closer to 300 lbs that I would like and I've put my weight on it many a times and it doesn't sweat it. $75 is a steal on this considering the aggravation you'll go through trying to re-invent an already good solution.
