Title: VN Accelerator into FC Post by: FCV08 on May 24, 2010, 09:11:10 PM I have attempted to remod the original accelerator pedal from a VN Commodore into my FC. Disregard the final finish as I need to certainly tidy it up a little. It looks as though it will work.

The depth of the sleeves allow for the positon of the bracket to be approx. 15mm off the firewall.

I did see your version when I was researching through all the earlier posts on this topic but thought I night have a crack at an alternative. When I was putting this one together I was looking to lift the assembly off the firewall to allow for any soundproofing/carpet and also to lift it away from the RHS Firewall. Hopefully someone may refine my version (MK 1) so that it is a little more presentable.
