I have the Momo pedals. As long as you keep the spacing between the pedals the same you can use nearly any set of pedals that you want. Of course that opens up a selection that is huge.

Can you link the pedals you're talking about?

What'd you think of the SRP?

There are numerous companies making pedals. I liked the SRP pedals, but I got the Momo pedals and footrest for around $85.00

That's cool you're in Charlotte too. Those pedals look totally sweet. I want to get a momo e-brake actually. They don't seem as functionally good as the SRP though. Like the pyramidized grid for the clutch and gas for grip and the smoothed gas pedal, makes sense for dragging/aggressive driving. Those pedals all look fairly "slick"... and the gas pedal looks like the clutch and brake.

Is that the case? That said, they look friggin' cool.

I was also told by SpeedStyles in Matthews to never go this route and only do bolt-on or spec. fit (like GM made for the HHR SS if they do the racing ones). They said people have tons of problems going this route and they can slip every few weeks or worse.

I prefer the "non advertising" versions. Momo had a good run in the 1980's and really screams "Italian." All just my opinion... I hope you like them for your car.

Whether you like Momo or not, my point was there are literally dozens of pedals that will fit from several manufacturers. Having put pedals in my last 3 cars I make sure the brake pedal has a good gripping surface. I think the Sullivan Pedals look great, but they are some of the most expensive ones on the market.

Measure the pedals and make sure you attach them securely. I use self locking nuts and loctite...oh yes ...remove the rubber pedal cover first.

Does anyone know if the Sullivan Racing Products will sell one of their "dead pedals" separate from the full set? I only want a dead pedal. Many thanks, and God Bless, Marc

Absolutely. Give him a call. I bought the dead pedal by itself.

Thumbs up

I called Sullivan Pedals about a separate dead pedal. Let me tell y'all one thing.....if you are EVER considering pedals, Brian is one accommodating and friendly guy that knows his stuff. I had fun just talking to him. I ordered an extra thick satin finished dead pedal for "Elvis", but I have a suspicion I'll be ordering the remaining pedals when that one comes in. Talk about customer service. God Bless, Marc
