Title: Right Hand Dead Pedal?
Post by: spikeydoodoo on 11 April 2008, 18:45

Well I have an OSIR left foot dead pedal on order, but whilst waiting thought I'd toy about with a matching right hand side jobie...

A bit of effort has left me with this:

it does hang over the left edge slightly, & i was going to get some fancy screws to screw it down

Just wondered what people thought?  my verdict is still out...

Suits my old mans ED30 DSG better. (IMO of course)

Personally, no. Fine on the left side though.

I like it, but I'd worry that it overhangs as you could possibly temporarily trap your foot whilst on the accellerator :undecided:

Looks like the verdicts in, i'm glad I asked cause i wasn't 100%

Sixpot that pic was the decider, I have a better idea of what it'll look like plus 1 pedal....are those extra pedals OEM? :rolleyes: :grin:

I had to do a trip last year from Baden Baden Germany to St Malo France, via Paris in the S4. Took 11 hours in total, I needed one of those pedals!
