Sorry but we don't skin cats down here in the South.

Don't forget to shorten the screw AFTER it's in the rubber piece.

The angled drill is sitting in my garage. And I am at work! The pedals should have been installed by now!

The pedals are installed. 2 bolts on the parking brake pedal, a bit offset but 2 bolts in!

The tools. Was not bad. But had to ask the good lady to install the washers and nuts. What a relief!

Will post pics of the install to help folks who want to get into this easier. Patience worked for me. And help form the wifey who had smaller hands. She will be driving the car most of the time anyway.

The hardest was the park brake. But was able to get 2 holes without issues with the bracket:

The brake was tricky. The 4 holes were very close to the edge. The clamps helped a lot.

The angled drill is the only way that you can get a decent shot at locating the holes right. I broke 1 drill bit. Not bad.

The gas pedal was the easiest because of the plastic pad. hard to get the nut and washer in the back. The wifey spend 15 minutes getting the 4 nuts set up. I was lucky I had a 2.5 mm Hex wrench, none came with the package.

I actually drilled the gas pad with the AL pedal clamped. Very carefully though so you do not damage the AL pedal.

Finally for the dead pad, had to add velcro and double sided tape plus the screws. The rubber tend to sink in, the double sided tape push it against the AL pad. I actually ended up with 2 layers of double sided tape to the middle. Worked well. The pad is not going anywhere.
