Yep...Paul is right...I have the "clip-on's" on my Fiero and they took alot of "fussing" with to get dependable...and even then they could come loose. The drilled and mounted are the way to go!
As far as the drilling goes...I mounted my brake pedal as I said earlier (after measuring from gas pedal) as far as possible to the left and actually let the top left hole dictate this as I only drilled 3 holes into the pedal and used a cone washer with rubber backing on the 4th (left-bottom) hole as a "clip". The pedal was very tight even without the 4th hole...but for extra insurance I attached the "washer-as-clip" and tightened down the screw thereby pinching the pedal assembly between the washer and MOMO pad.
If you look at the brake pedal using the larger photo you can see some of the outline of the left side of the metal O.E.M. brake pedal through the holes of the MOMO pad and see that it just misses the left bottom hole. If you center the pad onto the pedal it will be too close to the gas pedal.
The gas pedal only has 2 holes to drill...and if you center the pad
onto the O.E.M. pad the holes will narrowly miss interfering with reinstallation onto pedal rod. I used a vise to hold the MOMO pad onto the O.E.M. pad and made sure it was centered before
drilling. Hope this doesn't scare anyone off...it really wasn't hard
to do. I'm a locomotive assembler by trade...lol...always making stuff that doesn't quite fit as directed appear seamless in design!
For the record...the shift knob...harness pads...cell phone holder required zero alterations/deviations from instructions.
If you ever want to go back to stock setup the O.E.M. rubber pad will easily go back onto the pedal and cover up the 3 very small holes....no one will ever know the wiser! The gas pedal would either be reused with two small holes in it or cover up/fill in
the holes or replace the plastic pedal!
Have any of you ever noticed the VX-02 in Mission to Mars with the MOMO harness pads?
