Massive - Dead pedals

Its at my brothers, he will take a pic and post up shortly. It looks like this one, but will get exact pic up.

L that MK pedal looks sexy...

if you are looking to have it sit closer to the clutch pedal height, maybe something like i did but better?

just an idea, i didn't completely box it in because it could sit too high then. i was going to tie the pieces together, but so far it seems to be really solid.

yours looks way nicer though!

The MK unit looks very much (in its structure) like the one I already have. I think I'd rather work a different version such as the M-technic dead pedal, as it was designed to fit over the original mushy foot rest, and bolts on the clutch stopper and behind the speaker panel. The M technic deap pedal is great for a stock car, but currently very expensive on the collectors' market at $300-$400 asking price. The CF repro is about $200 if I remember. But not sure of strength.



Here's a CF repro of the M techic part. I am not sure CF is strong enough. But that's the shape I am looking for.

I'd be happy to offer a dead pedal to owners of e30s who still have carpetting. Do you have any link or picture of that dead pedal. If it works, I'll get you one or two units for free.

Lee,
Great work as usual, I have a MK Motorsport dead pedal, glad to send out to see if you can use that as the sample one.

No. No. It's because I was giving rides to midgets and I hit the end of the seat adjustment...

Proper weight distribution.

Obviously.

Don't worry, it is very strong.

It doesn't come flush with the pedals, it should be lower for most people.

Usually passengers don't need one as the seat can be advanced enough. Passengers don't have to use the pedals anyway. So just push the seat forward.

How come your car has one? :)

Maybe if anyone could lend me an original $300 M technic foot rest, I could turn it into a $75 stainless steel interpretation, most likely looking better than the original....

Do want.

[Massive Lee]

Hi Jack.

I guess that BMW's own M technic dead pedal pretty well solved the problem related to the thick carpet and mushy foam foot rest. I have not yet tried to install my dead peal on a carpeted e30. I guess you could make two cuts in the carpet, but honestly don't have hands on experience.

if you were really carefull, you could probably mount them to the floor and wheel house using nutzerts.
just mark where you want to put them in.

first mark and drill where you are going to bolt them.

then take a soldering iron and melt through the carpet in the spot where you are bolting. (this will keep the carpet from fraying in that spot. next install the nutzerts.

last bolt it in.

sorry to thread jack a little Lee, just tryng to help out. nice work again too.
