BA Pedals onto AU
 

hey guys, i really wanna get the aluminum pedals that are on the b-series XR models but i'm not sure if they fit onto the AU pedals properly or am i wrong?

Cheers!

I remember someone doin it on here. But you need to cut the pedals down a little.

Yep. I fitted them to my TE50 auto. I had to grind the brake pedal down a bit and shave a little off the throttle pedal though. I used sikaflex to hold them on and needed a small threaded bolt for the brake pedal. There's a decent write up on here somewhere on how to do it.http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z...50/Pedals1.jpg

Got the pedals off ebay for about $90 last year.

Gees, they dont look half bad! How do you find the grip under foot on the TE50 compared to the old one? I find that I do tend to slip off mine, especially when my souls are wet.
Would the manual pedals be harder to fit? There is a few sets up on ebay at the moment. I am considering doing this myself.

I did the same... can't find an individual pic but you can see it here:-

I think it was JC who did the write up. Maybe a search of his posts will find it.

Does the accelerator still have the pivot type movement with these? or is it a solid mount?

i fitted those on my ute just the other day, pedal still pivots and you have to cut away one side of each pedal about 5mm and 15-20mm from top and/or bottom of accelerator probably wouldn't bother drilling the hole as they sit on quite firmly without the screw, as your original pedals do.

thanks for the tip guys! i really do wanna get em on! how much do they cost from ford?

Sorry guys, but they just look butchered. I would rather have plain Jane au pedals then ones that have so obviously been chopped up to fit.

dont know of the cost from ford but i believe it could be quiet dear, if they are FTG auto salvage sell them for $125 a pair, they also have an online store on ebay for you interstate buyers. stockoau, it's the original pedal that is hacked away at if you do it well then nobody will notice...

In the picture above it looks hacked, left side of the accelerator and just the brake pedal in general.

I find there's a bit more grip with them even with wet soles.

Here's a pre-fitted pic of mine - I think they are BA1's.
I'd say that TE50 027's are a later model and they've put extra wear pads on them.

Yep, mine are the BF one's. Hence the Ford emblem on them. They're also available with an FPV emblem but I figured the Ford was more suitable for an AU.
Correction to my original post I actually paid $115. There were dodgy rip offs on ebay for $90.

I think you are looking to find faults that just aren't there. BA pedals are great on any car - they fit EB through to AU with minor mods to the existing pedals.

The ones posted by Ronwest look good, but the first ones pictured looked hacked. I'm not looking to find faults just giving my opinion, they may have been fitted for feel and not looks.

Not sure if it's the angle the pic was taken on or your just being a bit critical but on the car the pedals look fine.

Its probably just how they are, but on the left edge of the go pedal it looks like it been cut down. Same with the right of the brake, I preffer the look of the other set pictured

I think you will find that thats just how they are...

Correct me if I'm wrong.

The accelerator pedal itself was slightly shaved but only due to the fact that the inside of the alloy pedal has a slight taper. It's shape is exactly the same as the factory pedal it covers, just a bit wider and taller. As for the brake pedal, it is exactly the same as the one in the other photo, just with extra little rubber pads on the side. I think you may be confusing the square rubber pads on the edge of the BF alloy pedals with the BA ones which don't have pads on the edge of the pedal. The alloy pedals are not touched, only the original pedals which the alloys cover.

Yeah its just how they are, I preffer the BA ones over the BF. Can you get an alloy cover for the foot rest aswell?

Nice looking car mate, welcome aboard. Start a thread with a few more pics and details

Fair enough. Don't think there's an alloy footrest available. Might have to make one up.
