@LeMans850i posted:@panteradoug The gas pedal with the logo is Billet 6061 T6… And it is a grainy material when it breaks….
My DT logo pedal was from Hall maybe 30years ago. My understanding of what billet is, is similar to aluminum plate which I have worked with before. I have never seen "billet" break, only bend.
Mine clearly has a mold seam on the shaft which is what snapped when I tried to twist it.
I have no reason or intent to disparage IPSCO for any reason.
My floor pans are also lowered 2". Because of the added room, I was able to install power seat platforms in. I used the power seat platforms from a Ford Taurus which also has a power lumbar. That matched up with Halls recovered Pantera seats with the added lumbar support.
So my seats are not in the original stock location which may explain some of the variations in angle interpretation by me?
I DO understand that you are talking about the angle of the accelerator pedal but I am saying that the combination of moving the pedals forward aids in correcting the angle and spacing the accelerator to the extreme right all is part of the formula/recipe.
After clipping the corner of the brake pedal, I no longer had any issue with shoes hanging on the pedal. So I didn't need to look further for another solution.
I did think about welding the DT pedal to my existing but don't like the prospect of welding aluminum castings for ultimate dependability issues. I would consider using an IPSCO DT logo accelerator pedal if they offered one twisted in the shape of the original.
I'm just sharing my solutions. I'm not saying anyone else's solutions are wrong by any means. I have already realized that in a Pantera often solutions vary simply because the issues vary from owner to owner because the car is so tight and that we are not all built the same way.
A person can be 6'2" with long legs or short legs or varying combinations that vary the issues for varied solutions.
