Hey All,
I am over trying to find a Auto brake pedal for my LX so my question is, has anyone converted a manual brake pedal to a auto style.
I have had a look and I should only need to straighten the pedal slightly for clearance of the larger pad which i will retrofit, but I am not sure if straightening the pedal will make it too long in overall length.
any help would be very much appreciated, thanks guys

Funny you say that as I was doing my dynamat I noticed mine has been converted. Someone had welded a full size brake pedal over the small pedal.
I could take a photo later on.
Yeah that would be great, thanks mate

I've done them in the full sized Holdens before by just changing the pedal pad (welding one over the top works too, but may need to trim the rubber cover a little)
Yeah mate, I am gunna give it a go

Oh now i see what you mean, I think i will trim the original pedal right down and then weld around it with the larger plate, Thanks heaps mate this has helped me get it sorted. Cheers

Looks to be the same pedal arm length, just the manual pedal is bent further over toward the accelerator pedal.
The left hand edge (looking at the back of the pedal) seems to be on the same line for both when sitting them on top of each other.

I could be wrong, but I thought the pedal face was off centre to the arm. This would be to give clearance to the accelerator pedal. Unless the arms on the two brake pedals are different.
May want to get someone to post a photo of an auto pedal to be on the safe side
Yeah mate, I thought that would be the case so Im going to bend it over a bit
You can move it over quite a way before its placing too much twisting stress on the pedal arm
Im going to rebush the shaft anyway, so I will bend it out of the car. Cheers mate
