#S2000 CLUTCH DIY PLUS#
Plus it covers the shiny metal from normal view.įorgot to take pictures during most of the actual work, so this will be somewhat bare of in-process pics. The black tape is e-tape, just on there as a protective barrier since the metal is sharp, and i don't want to destroy my dress shoes if i accidentally brush against it. So the new one i took a similar approach with the sheet metal, but instead of wood, i used self latching standoffs along with screw/nuts.
i drilled holes in both the metal and wood, then nailed everything together with carpet nails (only thing i could find small enough that had any strength to it along with a big enough head to latch on to the metal). You can see that there's a curvature there, that made carving the piece of wood tricky. The pedal pad attaches to the top sheet metal. The bottom sheet metal attaches to the bare pedal by folding the tabs around. After all, making something out of wood for this car just seemed. it worked very well, but was always intended to be temporary until i could think of a better design. Version 1 was a "quick and dirty" concept model. The latter seemed to be the only real solution, so i made one myself. And then there's the 3rd alternative: create a thicker/taller clutch pedal pad. You either wish you could move the gas and brake pedals back by an inch or two, or shorten the clutch pedal's travel (and accompanying engagement/friction point by an inch or so. you find a good spot for your left foot to be good, and the right foot (mine is more on the top of the foot/shin area) gets sore from constant flexing. There have been a couple of threads on here about the clutch's long travel, and that for some people like me, it makes for uncomfortable seating positions.
