Accelerator pedal

Post by bwscreen »

Hello,
Just bought my T25, and upon driving home have noticed that the accelerator pedal has an excessive amount of sideways movement (seems very loose). I've just pulled up the floor mating, and found that it's only attached to the floor panel by 1 self tapping screw which will not tighten up, yet there are two screw holes in the pedal. The thing that is puzzling me is that there is only 1 hole in the metal floor pan for a screw to go through.
Are the pedals only meant to be attached by one screw? Or should i drill a second hole in the footwell and put a second one in.
I've also found this item on justkampers - http://www.justkampers.com/shop/t25/ori ... 10819.html - would this go on the underside of the van to hold the self tapping screw in place? Mine is currently just screwed into the floor pan with nothing underneath, which probably explains why it's become loose & refuses to tighten up.
Thanks in advance,
Ben

Originally they were pop riveted in place, have a good look at the metal and if ok use two bigger self tappers to hold it down

All fixed. After a good clean up i found that the 2nd bolt must have just sheared off completly flush. Drilled it out and out some fatter screw in :ok

when I got mine there was just hole in the floor but poprivets worked for me. I just need the little water cover that fixes on under the floor pan (anyone got a spare?). But it was an easy job took ten mins after working ou how it all went together, thanks forum members.
