[s-cars] Accelerator pedal!!!!!!

[tony.curran at sympatico.ca]

Hi John,

This happened to my S6 about a year ago. I drilled two holes at the bottom of the pedal, counter sunk them, then using a SS screw with locking nut (nylon insert) screwed the pedal back on. The holes must be at the bottom of the pedal to get the hinge effect.

I did try using duct tape, but for some strange reason this is one of the few applications duct tape just didn't cut it.

Has worked just fine ever since.

I'll post a pic tonight.

Tony
96 S6
