    Talking My new dead pedal design

    Here are some pics of my finished product. The pedal is made of laser cut 0.1" aluminum plate with a heavy brush finish. The base is laser cut 0.1" galvanized plate while the rod is cold formed 9/16" steel. The plate sits under the carpet and bolts behind the plastic harness holder. It sits at the same angle as the gas pedal at a hight of about 1/4 throttle when the pedals are all the way back. It feels very solid and very balanced. I made one to replace my prototype and one for my wifes 2000 GM. That leaves three up for grabs. Anyone interested? You can see the prototype installed in my car in the photo gallery.

    I think $45 plus shipping would be fair for what I have into them.

    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    The grip tape is all the way around so it holds in just fine on the carpet. I had to fabricate a hook for it when it was in my rubber floored '95 CVPI.

    very nice. You should add a piece of bar to support the bottom. Kinda complete the whole circle for the people that stand on it. Or not, either way it looks great. I would definately be interested.

    The design is very strong the way it is. Plus you can remove the floormat with no problems. I think you would be suprised how hard it is to bend 9/16" steel rod.

    Damn! Guess I missed the boat on this one. Too bad, it looks like a really nice piece. Anyone know if Zack and Mac are still planning on making any? I really want a dead pedal!

    I know, and the answer is no. No dead pedal from Zack and Mac, likewise no control arms. No one wanted to invest in the real deal and that's cool, but you're on your own.

    So am I.

    So...How much, and where do I send my money?

    I have enough rod stock left to put together 6 more but I would need firm commitments from those six because the laser cutting wasn't cheap. It also would take a week to get the parts cause the place I use is pretty backed up.
