Pedal Install Help

[Protege2K]

Anybody install any pedals on their car that weren't clipped on in the back? I just received my Sparco Racer pedals and you have to mount them by drilling. I tried to drill, but the piece was just too thick to penetrate. Any help is appreciated as this is really pissing me off.:mad:

working on cars a whole lot, and goinh through a lot of tools while doing, I've learned, a sharp drill bit is 800% better than a dull one. Buy a new drill bit son. =)

yup, one for metal, and not wood will work.

Thanks alot. Yeah the bit I was using was not very sharp at all. I figured it would do the job, but I was wrong. I am also having a problem with the gas pedal. I was able to drill through the plastic but I couldn't get it bolted on because of some parts in the way.

yes i have installed a set of pedals on a P5 and i had to use a nice new sharp ass drill bit and it was easy as cake with no problems.

Cool. My problem can easily be solved by using sharper drill bits. Thaks for the info guys.

Also, another tip is to start with a bit that's really small, then work your way up to the gauge you need. That's what I did, and it seemed to work fine.

or you can get the bits with a starter point. i cant remember the company or what its made of but its gold colored, with a little smaller tip to start the whole. they are more expensive than a normal bit, but ive drilled about... 100-200 holes in 16 ga steel and lots of other random crap without it dulling.
