I just got done installing Mopar stainless steel gas and brake pedal kit.

Wow what a project! My arms feel like I just reeled in a 50 lb tuna!

The gas pedal was easy.. It just clipped on after about 5 minutes of wiggling.

The brake pedal was another story. I read in Amazon reviews a recommendation to first soak the brake pedal in boiling water.

I let them soak.. Then tried to pry it on using a flat head screwdriver for 10 minutes.. Then I soaked it again in boiling water... The another 10 minutes of wrangling.

Finally I soaked it one last time. This time I first starter with top right side, then bottom left... Then bottom right... So close!! Finally I was able to slip the screwdriver under the top left side and pried it on. I actually couldn't believe I got it on for about a minute.

Here is a pic of mission accomplished:

All in all it was an awesome mod for about $60. Super cool and sporty looking!!

BTW this is the link on Amazon where I bought them:

Nice ebrake mod looks like my next project!

Too bad the curve on the replacement E brake pad does not match the curve of the brake & gas pedals.

Still waiting for Chrysler to come out with a true matching stainless steel pedal pad for the E brake.



BTW, the trick to get the brake pedal pad on is to heat it up with a hot air gun and work glove to protect your hand from the heat. Boiling water isn't hot enough. I wish I knew this trick BEFORE I put my set on!

 

[Scottina06]

yep...heat gun or hair dryer....took me 30 seconds after heating with the wifes hair dryer....LOL

Check out Fosters vertical E brake mod on page 4 of this thread. I ordered the charger s/s e brake pad that is what i am going to try.

Didn't enjoy them i sent them back. The pedals didn't give me the impression that I could stop when the weather gets wet as well as my shoes. The little stubs on the brake and gas pedal weren't really the rubbery feeling I expected,they were more plasticky and made me feel like if they got wet my foot would slip which if for whatever reason I need to stop quickly I didnt have the confidence that I would be able to with those pedals.

 

[nonopr01]

Talking about finicky people. The gas and brake is just for looks not for performance. Looks better finished.

 

[CHALLENGERBIZJET]

It might look better finished but when you live in the Midwest with snow and rain I need function. Also because if my foot slips off that pretty pedal then it won't matter how good they look while the car is at the tow yard and my insurance company is tryin to fix it or total it.

I ended up doing some minor mods to the backside of the brake pedal pad, but eventually got it on and perfectly seated.

hm, well, as far as the slippery pretty pedal and all..

So here I live in New England.

Got my driver's license in 1974.

Drove not only my but many of my friend's jalopies.

Now drive out to the barn often to hang with / deal with 'the pony'. And there is a lot of slippery 'stuff' there if you get my drift.

Hint: if you are hitting the brake pedal hard, the fancy pad makes no difference. If you know the vehicle well (and probably even if you don't) you are gonna hit the pedal pretty squarely.

Further hint: if you have no idea what you are doing and you only hit the corner 1/4 inch of the brake pedal, and then sue the world because the corner of the brake pedal didn't grip on your slick-soled shoes - you will be reviled by everybody on this forum forever more. And perhaps rot in some hot place, but I won't infer a particular set or religious beliefs..

Just MHO.

I used soapy water to lube the rubber around the back of the brake pedal cover. Then I used a short handled flat screwdriver with a wide tip. The wide tip was the key, I fumbled around with a skinny tip for an hour before switching screwdrivers and had the pedal cover on in 5 minutes.

 

[CHALLENGERBIZJET]

Enjoy your pedals they weren't worth it to me..different people like different things if yours works for ya party on!!!!

 

[jeepjeepwk2]

I used duck tape to hold up the upper rubber lip of the chrome brake pedal cover. Once the cover is seated properly, peel off the duct tape and it should slip into place. Figured that out after messing with it for over an hour...bloody knuckles and all!!

 

[CHALLENGERBIZJET]

I hope you guys lovem,they didn't work well for me and they weren't very practical for me.

 

[Simi]

As mentioned by others.....just hear the break pedal cover up with Hair dryer and slip it on. Still not easy, but 5-10 minute job. Looks nice.

 

[CHALLENGERBIZJET]

Yeah looks nice but not practical for me,I thought the black part of the pedals would have more grip then they did,not safe enough for me.

So, I'm confused...are you saying you like these pedals or not? ;-)
