Anyone have Sled Drivers Pedals uninstalled?
 

I've decided that I'm bored, and need to do something involving my car. So, today I'd like to make a set of pedal covers out of 1/8th inch Aluminum.

If possible, I'd like to get a scan of sled drivers pedals (as many as can get scanned, but I'd most like the gas pedal) as I love their look, from what I understand they perform very well, and they are no longer commercially available.

So, if anyone happens to have the set uninstalled, or easily accessable, and they wouldn't horribly mind scanning them, it would be appreciated. ~Colby

*NOTE* I will go on record now saying I NEVER intend to make any profit from sled drivers design, I only plan to make 1 set for myself. Also, I've PM'ed Sled Driver w/ this threads URL, if he dissapproves then I'll just start from scratch. Thanks.

I encourage anyone to build off my design
(IM flattered, it's a compliment).
Unfortunately, as stated, my operations were shut down, so it's no conflict to me.

I received a P.M., with a link to this thread, from "Liquid Anarchy" asking for my input (decent guy, thanks)

I no longer have the tooling I used to manufacture the pedals (To resist temptation to build more on the sly). Otherwise I would provide the templates to anyone interested.

:)

howd ya get shut down?

The real Q? is WHY did you get shut down? - I could guess but won't do it publicly,

I love my my Gas & Brake pedals and SOON will get around to installing the Dead Pedal - The corner of the Brake pedal has worn a hole in my left shoe though. Yes I drive an Auto and Left Foot Brake :D

well sled drivers pedals are definitely a great set i have a set and love them, never move or slip no matter what :)

Well, I could take some details pics of them off the car. But don't have access to a scanner. Plus the gas pedal at least is curved, so it would really scan anyway.

They sure do look sweet. Can't wait to get them on the car! Heh, can't wait to get the rest of the car finished :D

I've got them too. Glad I got them early.

Ok then... if that's the case, does anyont know how to take dimensions?

If anyone can produce a good picture of the pedals, I can quickly show what dimensions I need (where to measure so angles arn't needed, etc), as all of the past posts w/ pictures have turned to little red X's.

pm tomorrow... i'll try to draw up some schematics for u then...

btw no i won't take it off... it was a bitch to get on... the curve wasn't quite right so i had to force it to catch the thread on the screws... but i'll be happy to take dimensions...

PM tommorrow

thanks a lot cheers. I don't need a scan, dimensions are fine... I am a drafting student after all.

If I can get a picture of them from another forum member, I'll let you know of the spacific dimensions I'd prefer

once again, much appreciated

where you at cheers!?

sorry i completely forgot.

all measurements +/- 0.2 cm uncertinty

1) 5.0 cm

btw some futher notes i forgot to add
edge 4 is curved so i measued end to end with a plastic ruler... i couldn't find a string sorry... if u need more help i'm sure sled driver could give u some pointers...

if that isn't the case pm me and i'll try to get better mesaurements

Ahh, I just realized 3 more dimensions I need, if you're so inclined...

the "triangle" near the top. in basic form A = Short Side, B = Other Side, C = Hypotinuse

u mean the gas pedal?

Yes, that notch out of the upper right corner
