Where can I get a aluminum “stock” looking gas pedal?

Hey guys I am looking for a gas pedal that matches the stock clutch and brake pedal, and I am having a hard time tracking down any suitable options.

Anyone know where to get something like this?

I know there was someone that was making a good looking one, but no more









I have found a company that makes a pretty good reproduction for the miatas, but having trouble tracking one down.

thanks for the always enthusiastic helpful responses Mahjik!

But I don’t see anything on their site that retains the “authentic” look of the stock aluminum pedals that came with the FD3S.

Was it sled driver that produced the gas and foot rests that were sold on ebay IIRC? Long time since then, a little fuzzy.

A company called “brainstorm” makes the bottom one I believe, but I am having a hell of a time even finding information on the company let alone a place to purchase the parts.


For the actual pedal assymbly I plan on manufacturing a full aluminum plate that mimics the stock mounting and travel/throw limiting points, but I would like to find a pedal that mimics the stock brake and clutch pedals if possible.

I can cut one but I believe that I could get a cast piece that would more closely match the texture and look of the clutch and brake if I could only locate a source.

Thanks for any input on the matter guys.

There have been several resellers/makers over the years. The picture above is from Pettit Racing, IIRC. Sled Driver used to see a replacement as well as Widefoot Racing.

If you recover all of them, they'll have a 'new authentic look'. You basically need to either get what is available, or make one yourself.

Oh really…any further details or links to help elaborate on your statement?

Have always wanted to get this little detail out of the way would love to see a quality solution, hopefully containing the foot rest as well…

Not really many details yet, but its one a dozen currently active projects that we're working on.

A small CAD image is attached.

thanks for the websites, guys. i think im gonna go with a set of autovation competition pedals. ive been looking everywhere for widefoot pedals for the past 3 or so years, and i cant seem to find any. this looks like a good set, but the FB and FC kits appear to have a wider gas pedal. is it just me? then again, satisfaction guaranteed... i might as well try 'em out.
