OK, thanks to abdukted1456, I got a set of these.

They are really very neat and well made.

Have installed the gas and brake pedals.

Now I need help with the dead pedal.

Anyone done it ? Care to share ?

Thanks.

I have to bend the gas pedal a little for the new cover to
sit properly over it and that made the pedal a little higher.
Well maybe not an inch but I certainly feels and actually is
much closer to the brake pedal height now.

They are really very well made, for that price.
The whole thing is machined from solid aluminium "blocks".

In case so of you are wondering, I am not the one who's
selling the pedals, I got the contact from abdukted1456
and ordered a set.

Nick, why don`t you make some aluminum pedals on that CNC machine?
I`m sure a lot of us will buy such product!
Marked with the Viggen logo, they will definitely be a sale!!!

You can move the brake pedal. Between the booster and the pedal there is a threaded part.


As far as the others go. Threw some time at the pedals this afternoon w steve.. Should have some design concepts whipped up soon. Few bigger projects in the machine shop right now though.

More discussion here...

http://www.saabcentral.com/forums/sh...41#post1723541

I still think the logos have too many lines... Every time I count them, I get 7 yellow and 6 blue or a total of 13 lines. I guess I just can't see it any other way .

Funny parts is that I never said they were 100% copy of viggen logo only for viggen owners. And we already decided they are not for you zach but for not liking them you asure are going to lots of trouble.. Maybe you make some up and we can see what they look like?

I was making a functional part that is not slippery..

Probably won't mess with them anyway. Not worth the trouble.

No need to be hostile about it... you asked if you were going in the right direction, and I gave my honest opinion. Unfortunately, I don't have the machines to make them... If I did, I would. I have many of your parts, Nick. Just thought you'd want to hear the opinions of some of your customers, but I guess not. I am not going through lots of trouble, I am just saying what I'd like to see in order for me to purchase a set. I can't speak for the entire crowd, but my voice should matter as I would be a paying customer.

The winky eye can't make a hostile post that was targeted directly to me seem like it was a joke... Perhaps it was worded poorly, but it seemed to be pretty serious.

geez Louise.

tone gets lost pretty quickly and easily on the internet. Best to just assume people don't mean any harm.
