Small mileage is a good excuse to hold on to a big bus IMO.
Congrats on the job dude.

Queue the engine busting 1st gear mistake while looking for third some day
When i got the car first driving down the M1 to enter the M50 (Hell for a culchie) and i was tootlin along then joined the N4/6 to head home to galway in 6th turned to brother and said "Watch this !!!"
Went to swap down to 4th, got 2nd and almost shat myself thinking i'd blown the engine after 10 minutes, was quiet in the car for next 15 minutes or so

Lads, I recently got aluminium pedals for the car. The accelerator has different screws to the clutch and brake so that you can attach it and not have the screws protruding out the back which would cause you to not get full throttle.
The problem is, I drilled the holes in the accelerator with a 4.5mm drill bit when it should have been a 3mm
Besides buying a new accelerator pedal, anyone have any bright ideas about how I can undo what I have done? I have it in my head that I could fill these holes with an epoxy of some sort and start again but I don't know.
I have different screws (with a nut at the back) on the bottom 2 holes but can't do that on the top 2.0 -

I know doing this would kill you but it does work.

Any chance you could just put new holes beside the wrong ones? You'll probably have to fill the old ones for strength… Failing that could you just glue the cover onto the pedal?0 -

Could you not buy M4 or whatever size counter sunk screws and tap the existing pedal to suit?0 -

That's a weird accelerator pedal. Any car I have ever owned the accelerator pedal came from the top like the clutch and brake.I was thinking filler and then redrill?
It will never be as strong as if it was drilled right the first time with filler.0 -

MetzgerMeister wrote: »Me too but in my post, I'm basically asking what filler would be best
I would be hard to get such a small amount of filler to hold. It would probably break up either drilling or screwing into it. I'd probably glue the whole thing on, screws and all, with tech 7 or epoxy. Either that or countersink it for an M4 as mentioned.0 -
