Re: restore time!! *UPDATE 20th feb - time for feature!*
been playing around with the clutch pedal mod today, very fiddly, helps if your not fat and have orangatang arms thank goodness my mates are normal size!
after looking at both pedals now, only difference is you need to drill 2 holes in the original pedal but need to grind off the metal sticking out on the left as no need to be there. unless theres a tiny detail on the new pedal that i cant see
im now relating more to this thread now..
