So had a day off today...best fit those satur peddle covers,even though it was sub zero..ice on my other car has i braved getting the mg out of the garage
pictured below are the peddle covers from front and behind..no drilling required.
These pedals are held on by grub screws...very small so be careful not to loose them..thou the brake and clutch peddle covers were tight going on.pictured below is the throttle pedal and the holes arrowed which will be used for the grubscrews...very fiddly at first until after getting mad trying to hold the tiny screws and turn them..i had a idea
so i got a small allen key bit...which was a tight fit in the little grubscrew....this enabled me to twiddle it with my fingers and get the grubscrew in easily...wherhas the allen key supplied was touchin the carpet and made the job so awkward i nearly disconnected the throttle peddle....use of this small allen key bit reduced the job to just taking minutes.
i cleaned the brake and clutch peddle with a bit of emery cloth,then used some needle files to make a wider lip for the pedals to fit easier,aplied a smear of engine oil and they went on easier but were still tight.
Below are the pedals before and after..i think the camera lense started to freeze at this point
All I need now is the chrome footrest and some new mg mats..oh what's this the postmans here with the chrome footrest..out I go again

So out again armed with some chrome bling
Pleased with the look..so with a smile on my face I put the tf back in the garage..i put one of these in the car for good measure
Then it was back in the warmth of the house for a hot cup of coffee...in my favourite mg mug of course..

Must resist shiny things or Mrs. Bob will strike.
The pedal covers and foot rest look great and I like the way they fix :broon: I could be tempted to upgrade myself.
