The Project Pad

Pedal Box Complete!

Converted to a B5 DBW throttle pedal, enlarged the brake and clutch pedals and added grip tape, added some stiffeners and had a friend turn some delrin pivot bushings.

Great work!

This is all really cool.

Really nice work! Keep us updated, love seeing the machining and fabrication.

Looking great Brendan.

Can't wait for updates

Nice, Brandon. Taking note on that pedal setup! Want to make another one?

Possibly 2?!

40v D2's have a gas pedal potentiometer that you can hook a cable up to and put the pot anywhere convenient and still use your factory gas pedal.
I believe Mk4 VW's use similar setup.

That's pretty sweet Alex! Good to know for future projects! That would have been easier to make a bracket and incorporate with a single pulley, perhaps. The only perk with the DBW gas pedal assembly is they are a dime a dozen and cheap at a junkyard. I get the feeling Jimmy G is trying to strong arm me to make a replica of my DBW gas pedal mount and maybe even some replace weld on pedal plates

They weren't too difficult to make, it was actually more of a PITA to clean up the OEM pedals for welding! I used a brake in my Harbor Freight press to form the pedals cleanly vs other tried and trued methods with a vice and hammer... (https://www.swagoffroad.com/SWAG-20-TON ... _p_40.html)

Here's a few more pics before paint and grip tape and welding in supports/stiffeners:

I would covid hug you right now. This is the one thing I hate about my car, these pedals were not made for size 14 shoes. It's better with driving shoes on right now. Plus I really want to go DBW, very inspiring!
