I think that the pedals come prepackaged asa set but I will double check.





I check and see if checks are ok.


Woohoo the numbers are adding up fast!

If we can get more I sure we can undercut the price even more.

Lets do it, Now I just need the new pedal board to go along with it, SWEEEET.

Posted by: TimT Jan 1 2004, 12:06 PM

If it makes it easier, Ill take the whole set, Id really just like the gad pedal, but if it a problem to break up sets, just put me in for the whole set.

Posted by: echocanyons Jan 1 2004, 12:33 PM

I will make sure tomorrow if we will be able to get the pedals separate or not.

It looks like we will have plenty to push this through.

I will smooth out all the details tomorrow and post the findings.

Happy New years!

Figures,
I just bought a set of these a couple months back and have yet to put them on, drat and double drat! I did post a question on how to get the accel pedal cup into the new pedal's cup. So if/when you all get them, post how you did it. Or if I get off my lazy duff and do it soon I'll let you all know.

Posted by: jfort Jan 2 2004, 12:31 PM

UPDATE

the price is $70.00 before shipping.

The deal is, he will ship all of them to me and I will ship to everyone at that point to make less work for the vendor keeping costs down, no taxes and insuring the product is what it should be.

To get this deal you must email me or PM me your shipping information and how many you are ordering.

I will take check, money order, paypal

I am asking that the payments are sent to me by the end of this week if there are any problems with this date contact me.

I am sorry for those who wanted these but it looks like we are not going to be able to get the pedal only.

Posted by: echocanyons Jan 5 2004, 02:19 PM

OK so via paypal I can accept credit card payments.

I am going to ship via flat rate priority envelope with the parts protected. This is the very cheapest running 3.85 plus if you want insurance + 2.20 and delivery confirmation is + 0.45

If you want alternative shipping email me

PM or Email me your Name, shipping info and payment info.

Posted by: seanery Jan 5 2004, 02:34 PM

Kelly,

have you weighed a set? Don't get yerself screwed by shipping. I'm sure all of us would pay an extra buck or so, just so you don't lose out. It's not fair to you if it costs more.

-sean

Posted by: echocanyons Jan 5 2004, 02:47 PM

The good thing about the flat rate envelopes is it doesnt matter where they go as long as they are national and it doesnt matter how much they weigh, the envelope just has to be able to close.

I am really trying not to have to cover any extra costs and I think I have though of most problems that may occur(yeah right ).

I will let everyone know if shipping turns out to be a problem and may ask everyone to cover the difference.

Posted by: Bill Shaw Jan 5 2004, 05:37 PM

If they're still available, I'd like a set too. Let me know and I'll send a check out tomorrow.

Posted by: echocanyons Jan 5 2004, 05:49 PM

there is still time if you didnt sign up earlier

PM or email me

Posted by: bernbomb914 Jan 5 2004, 07:16 PM

please sign me up also. can I pay by paypal?

Bernie

Posted by: Malmz Jan 6 2004, 12:33 AM

Add one more set por favor. Just really need the pedal since I already have momo covers on the clutch and brake, but what the heck.

Which email address for the Paypal? I'll also send a PM.

sm

Posted by: brant Jan 6 2004, 09:26 AM

Kelly,

sorry to be such a pain in your butt.... and thanks a ton for going to all of the trouble to put this together...

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE WEIGHT OF JUST THE THROTTLE PEDAL IN METAL?

I'm thinking of bailing on the purchase.... because I really only need the throttle, and it might be lighter to buy stock...

Does anybody know?
thanks again fellas for all the help
brant

Posted by: seanery Jan 6 2004, 09:41 AM

Brant,
I've got one loose, but I don't have a scale sensitive enough to weigh it.

Posted by: Jeroen Jan 6 2004, 09:50 AM

The stock pedal is pretty heavy (metal structure inside thick rubber padding), so I'd be surprised if this one would be (much) heavier

If you wan't light weight, you could check if the plastic gas pedal from later 911s fits

cheers,

Jeroen

Posted by: brant Jan 6 2004, 10:07 AM

thanks for the idea Jeroen..

Sean, do you have a stock one that you can hold in one hand and the metal in the other?
(this would be a good enough test for me)

thanks guys for always helping me out...
brant

Posted by: seanery Jan 6 2004, 10:18 AM

sorry, stock on is on the car, and its 5 degrees in my garage, so I'm not gonna take it off for the test.

Posted by: Jeroen Jan 6 2004, 10:22 AM

I "think" the later (plastic) gas pedals have the ball-cup in a different location, and might screw up the geometry of the throttle-lever / gas cable actuator
(you can see from the pics earlier in this thread that this pedal has 2 ball cups)

Other than that, I'd say that this pedal would be a nice upgrade since it has a real hinge and isn't swiveling on a thin peace of rubber/plastic

For lightness you can always drill extra / bigger holes

cheers,

Jeroen

Posted by: seanery Jan 6 2004, 10:24 AM

Brant, its a nice pedal. I like the feel, it is a bit thick, but that's ok. I really wouldn't worry about the weight, if it weighs more, skip your cheerios that morning and you've saved more weight than it put on.

Posted by: echocanyons Jan 6 2004, 10:35 AM

Brant,

No worries if its not what you need.

The biggest draw for me to this type of pedal is the hinge, I have had 2 914's with pedal wobble due to the rubber hinge tearing and with this hinge I would think that it would totally prevent this from happening.

Posted by: brant Jan 6 2004, 10:38 AM

Kelly,
I'll make up my mind then today .....

Sean,
I understand.. It's 2 or 3 degrees here right now...

brant

Posted by: Malmz Jan 6 2004, 10:51 AM

For the record, the stock pedal is supposed to have a real hinge in it too (at least all the one's I have seen). The problem with them is that it is made of steel and exposed on the bottom where shoe moisture accumulates and leaky m/cs dump their fluid. The stock hinge rusts, goes away, then you are left with a floppy piece of rubber for the pedal to pivot on.

sm

Posted by: seanery Jan 6 2004, 11:12 AM

Just so everyone doesn't freak out when they get their pedals. The hinge will need to be flipped. They come in the 944 type config, not 911/914. Its a simple change though.

Posted by: echocanyons Jan 6 2004, 11:33 AM

Thanks for the tip, how is this acomplisher push the pin out and turn the base, replace the pin?

Posted by: seanery Jan 6 2004, 12:36 PM

thats it!

Posted by: brant Jan 6 2004, 02:41 PM

Kelly,

I'm going to bail on you now...
just don't need the whole set, and have a good stock pedal which will work fine....

I'll move this to my "someday list"

thanks for all of the work putting this together... and if you get stuck with any extra sets.. drop me a note.

brant

how many have paid so far?

Posted by: echocanyons Jan 7 2004, 06:27 PM

we have eleven paid but I have had email conversations with 21(for 26 of 28 of the orders)of the people and have solid confirmations with method of payment so things are going pretty smoothly

I sent out a reminder today to those whom I havent heard from.

Posted by: echocanyons Jan 8 2004, 04:00 PM

Saturday I will be closing the opportunity to get in on the group buy for these pedals.

I need to have a specific amount to order and thus need to stop further orders coming in.

If you want these now is the time to sign up.

Thanks to everyone who has paritcipated so far. I will probably put the order in early next week(mon or tue Jan 12-13) and will probably be shipping by the weeks end.

I will keep everyone updated

Posted by: seanery Jan 20 2004, 11:16 AM

how many sets did we order, 25 or so?
I'm sure he didn't have that many in stock. I'd call 'em, but don't be surprised if it's another week or so.

Posted by: echocanyons Jan 20 2004, 11:36 AM

we had a total of 33, I made sure that the stock was there and ready to ship before I submitted the order. The order probably went from the supplier to the vendor and then out to me, this is probably where the delay happened that and the MLK holiday.
I have left a message and hopefully I will have some news by this evening.

Pedals arrived to me today

I will be starting to send fri and will finish monday.

I have found a USPS box that might suit our purpose for shipping and does not change the cost of shipping. I gotta test fit then weigh and if it works then I will send (nationally) in this box rather than the envelope.
Jeroen and si2t3m I will be sending yours monday.

Got mine too, BTW, Thanks.
