Just a precision, hard anodised is an evolution of the previous generation of TAT pedals. Hard anodised gives this grey appearence slitly different from OEM (really white), and it is used to resist better to your shoes than a previous polish one.

Got mine this morning, Cheers Nick/Thierry As oppo said, they are very grey.... Almost titanium coloured, which I quite like as I got all three If I just got accelerator pedal I'd be investing in some caustic soda and autosol ;)

Just fitted mine, fun contorting to get under the dash. Just to confirm, 6mm socket/spanner for nuts and 2.5mm allen key for the bolts. Hardest bolt i found was the top one on the accelerator pedal, just kept spinning till i wedged the bolt in the socket. Apart from that no real problems. Found getting the rubber pads swapped quote easy. Used the ball end of the allen key i was using to pry them out/push them back in. Very minor damage done to one or two but i think that may have been down to some rough edges on the holes in pedals. Really pleased with them :groupjump: Just need to go road test them now!

Tried to get mine off yesterday to no avail, didn't even manage to get a single bolt loose. Pedals now in my ever increasing bits to fit box along with a TTV flywheel, Wiseco Pistons, Eagle rods, Brake Cooling Ducting Kit, Nord-Lock suspension washer, Forge silicon rad hoses. the list goes on... ...and on.... ...and on.

RE: Rubber plugs. PLUG,RUBBER,WITH FIXING PIN : 9197176 No idea on price though. Just swapped them over. Might get some new ones at some point as the bottom few on the brake pedal were a bit worn.

Apologies for the multi quote there, please can AV confirm that's for a set lol

Back on topic....

No surprise my pedals aren't fitted despite a full afternoon of trying :(

First off, my clutch pedal (after 100k) bolts are worn down/burred sufficiently that I can't get an Allen key in them. The accelerator pedal is the same but the Allen holes are so full of mud/gunk it's nigh on impossible to clean them out :(

Secondly, the nuts on my pedals are NOT 6mm. Nor are they 5mm, 1/4" or 3/16"

It looks like they are circa 5.5mm and none of the above sockets work.

So I've wasted a few more ££ on sockets and I'm going to have to drill some more bolts out :(

Tomorrow I'll be sourcing some new bolts and wing nuts lol

Nope from what i gather that's £1.10+VAT PER rubber bung (or £1.39+VAT from the local stealer)!!!!! So nearly the cost of the pedals to replace all the rubber bits. I managed with a 6mm socket, but agree with you it's a smidge smaller. But luckily managed to do the job. Mind you my pedals have only done 60k miles so weren't too bad.
