Hi Gents,
I want to fit a LH Or a RH accelerator pedel to my car and be able to swap quickly, so the wife is able to drive my car. ( I'm an Amputee).
I want them to be removable so I don't loose any foot room on the opposite side. I don't think there is enough room to have them fold up out the way. (I've seen this done in the UK. ) I'm tall and my feet are big.
The car is a 2006 Audi A6. presently I have a VW pedal,I bought off Ebay, modified and mounted to the foot rest. It works very well, for ME....lol
The car is 'drive by wire' so the pedal operates a dual potentiometer to signal throttle.
I would like a 'quick connect' arrangment that is solid and locks the alignment.
We have 'quick connect' tube fittings at work, but they rotate to any position. I initally thought a square tapered tang might work, but I can't think of a way to make it 'quick connect, disconnect'
Pedal arms will be approx 10mm round bar, I guess.
I want to do the mod myself, because I know exactly what I want and know more about it than any auto mechanic and the one vague quote I got once, said 'about 8 hours work'...thats lots of money.....
Anyone think a way to do this?
Need to be able to fabricate parts in a home workshop. I have lathe, mill and Mig.
