C7 Pedals installed (PICS)
okay, finally finished installing the c7 pedals. all of them cost about $40 from the dealer. Part #'s:
Gas: 170 300 00 04
Brake: 170 290 00 82
Clutch: 170 290 02 82
E-Brake: 230 430 00 84
The install took about 20 mins, 19 of which were for the gas pedal. Note: the gas pedal has one screw on the bottom of the plastic plate and a clip at the top. the clip must be pressed together (on right side of pedal) and the other end must be pushed out using a small flathead screwdriver. after the clip is removed, i slipped off the rubber pedal from the housing and slipped on the aluminum one. the housing for the aluminum pedal looks a bit different, but the main reason i did that was ease of installation and also because it has two holes on the end of it whereas the oem rubber housing assembly only has one in the centre. regardless, i think its easier to just slip off the old pedal and slip on the new one. everything stays in tact that way and all you have left to do is re-insert the clip at the top. hope this helps all of you.

pic 5: this is the screw that hols the assembly in place...note: the oem one has one screw whereas the aluminum pedal assembly has two holes that are not centred. another reason why i just slipped the new one on.

Antonio:
Replacing the gas pedal on the automatic requires the same procedure you described in your manual install?
No cutting of the gas pedal as some other members have done?

yes, the auto gas pedal is the same. also, there is no need for the entire assembly. just buy the gas pedal separately. this is from a slk, but it is identical to the c7 pedals. that is why the part numbers are different.

I think if I had an automatic car and wanted to do this particular conversion, I would use the complete pedal set from the SL500. That way the e-brake would match the gas and brake pedals (with the oval-shaped pleasure nubs).

Using the SLK pedals is cheaper - but hey, buying most aftermarket tuner pedals are still more expenive than the set with a gas-pedal linkage.

I'm curious as to why you replaced the pedals? Do they provide better grip? or is it for aesthetics? I think they look great, but how often does anyone ever see the pedals? Now if they provide better grip then my complete rubber pedals I might be interested........

i got the pedals mainly for cosmetic reasons, besides being so cheap. i was surprised to feel how much grip they provide. i like them better than stock mainly because it feels firmer as it is aluminum and not rubber. that, and an addition of 8 HP at the rear wheels.
