"Also where can I find the gas pedal shaft or a suitable replacement as the shaft under the pedal is missing so car will only do 165Km when pressing pedal. I am assuming rubber from a flooring shop or HW shop will clean up the base."
Here's what I did:
For the Outrun Gas Pedal Shaft, go to Home Depot and get a long Cotter Pin (the kind that opens and bends outward) -- it replaces the shaft and it works!
- For the Floor Mat, while at Home Depot, get their ribbed black rubber material (they will cut it from the large roll).
- Remove the Gas Pedal Assembly (two screws) -- remove the Wooden Block (two screws).
- Make a Template of the floor using card stock paper and align and punch holes through the card stock paper Template (for the Wooden Block holes and the Gas Pedal holes).
- Place the Template over the Rubber Material and cutout the Mat -- drill or cut for the screw holes.
- Position the Mat on the floor.
- The screws in the Wooden Block and Pedal should align and will hold the Mat in place (no glue needed).
- Also, I covered the Gas Pedal, Brake Pedal, and Base Trim Plate with Gorilla Black Tape. (Eliminates painting!)
