Rather an odd one this, but how should the accelerator be fixed to the floor? Mines in a bit of a state, looks like its sickoflexed in place and with a pop rivet too..
I have a new pedal from mr baxter.. but should it be screwed, bolted, or pop riveted in place?
Thanks.

Re: Accelerator Pedal...
Mines pop riveted most of the time - but has an annoying habit of breaking off about once a year (and when the lovely H is driving it). Its held on by a coathanger at the moment (gotta love her ingunuity) until i work out how im going to fix it permanently. I think its going to involve pop rivets then a mig welder
