    Opinions please

    Gas pedal broke today. You can see in the first few photos that the spot weld that held the bearing case to the firewall mount just gave way. I am looking at making a strap to cover the pivot bearing case and cinch it down. Any thoughts or suggestions on my current solution? I know it looks like crap, I am working on that part of it.

    That happens with the FFR accelerator pedal more often than they are willing to admit. If it were me I would replace it with the piece from Russ Thompson. You can find it here. http://www.norcal-cobras.com/store/r...k3/mk3ftp.html

    Yup, not the first, not the last. Do not bother asking why it's just crap.

    Russ's is the way to go.

    Nope, it doesn't look like crap at all. Crap looks like what you see in the first photo of the failed FFR gas pedal.

    So, the Russ Pedal seems to be for the other styles of F5R caRS. Do they make them for the 33 Hotrod or does the MK3 version fit?

    Paint the strap black and no one will see it, or wield the parts back together.

    Will those will work on the 33' as well?
