NEW Ford Raptor "Dead Pedal" Fabrication!

[Maxx2893]

I guess the next big factor is price point. Do y'all have a ballpark of what you think they'll cost. I know it depends on design and materials. But just curious.

would like to see a wide pedal like this but notched for the e-brake. i like to rest my foot against the kick panel as well but don't want to loose the e-brake or have to modify it.

No, we haven't discussed price points yet. I have to wait until Kellen's R&D is a little farther along before we can figure that out. We also have to figure in the special ustomizations everyone is wanting, obviously those will add to the cost. I am betting/assuming we should have something estimated sometime within the coming week.

if you do Captain Awesome Idea or like that one with the bar coming up around you could screw it to the floor and put your mat over the top. if you want to get crazy you could put a slide out on it that way you can push it in if you need to use your emergency brake

A couple of notes on mine to help the design going forward:

The dead pedal is a bit too big on mine. not terrible but a bit big

The angle of the dead pedal is important. mine is too veritcal

The bottom mounting screws really are useless - they don't go through anything too solid (to avoid cab penetration), so they are more decorative than anything. Get a good solid mount up top and let it rest against the bottom.

I had to cut my floormats for it, but that didn't bother me. I'd rather have it sit flush against the carpet to keep it more solid and then you can still remove the mat.

Watch the other pedals. The brake pedal is easy as you can use the metal backing, but the gas pedal is plastic so your mount has to be solid, same on the parking brake. The ones I have worked pretty well, but I thought the design could be better.

Another note on the pedals: I wear pretty wide shoes usually and more than once I have went to stab the brakes hard and got the throttle too. I think narrowing up the throttle pedal would be a good idea.

ya the old wicked ones are a little on the big side could probably do with out the last right side row. does the e-break miss the pedal?

hey chris, just came upon this thread. love the ideas being floated. definately count us in once you get the r&d completed. with all this input i am sure you will come up with something really good.
can't wait to see the finished product!!!!

ebrake is clear from hitting on the wicked one
