yeh i was bidding on one but it got too expensive for me
waqs just wondering if theres a place that sells them at a reasonable place?

Minispares thats where I got mine from, make sure you get some nylock nuts or some locknut as the nuts vibrate loose

Dunk your foot in a cold pool to shrink it.
That will make it easier to move around on the pedals.

I substitute an early (square) brake or clutch pedal pad on the accelerator pedal, just cut them off and weld on, then use the std rubber brake/clutch pad. Been doing this for years, and doesn't look out of place. Steve

Why not just make one up? Peice of checker plate...few holes. That's my plan.

i got mine from UK ebay for 10 quid, including pedal pads too

can you get stuff from minispares without a credit card?
is it easy or not?
and ebay UK how do you pay when the currency is different?

sign up for PayPal to pay via UK ebay. It's free. You transfer money from your account to paypal, then it gets converted, then pays the seller.

Pretty easy once set up.

might try that, i thought you needed a credit card for pay pal.

so how bout minispares and others like that, is there any way you can get stuff without a credit card..... dad wont let me use his...

I have delt with Mary (somthing) on Ebay UK and have found Great.

Agree with you Kev.
I had one for a while but found it hard to stop. When you hit the brake pedal you also hit the throttle. Sort of complicates things a bit when you are trying to stop. I take a size 9 shoe so anybody with a larger foot wil be in real strife.
They are bloody dangerous and should be done away with.
For those with slippery feet a Morris Minor throttle pedal is a similar size to a Mini and uses a rubber pad so it may fit a Mini.

sorry just had to pick on you for that one, we all knew what you meant.

for me, bigger pedals would be a natural disater! Ron said earlier he has a size 9...i'm on size 11/12 here people. sometimes have a bit of hassle braking without stepping on my other foot (on clutch) or rubbing my shoe on the steering column. my right shoe is worn down a little bit where it rubs...
