I'd buy a pair with the rotor design. Looks pretty good I think. =)

Just finished taking all of the pictures and making tracings of the '83 pedals. I took a look in Victoria British and as it turns out the pedals are identical from 79-83, but are different for 84-85. So, no need to send in SA templates.

The dead pedal on my car disappeared at some point, so if somebody could measure the height, width at top and width at bottom of the dead pedal, it'd be much appreciated.

So far so good, I'm not making very fast progress with the whole paint prepping part though. I keep finding work setting me further and further back. Rust repair really sucks.

I have been quite busy because I am going to college now to become a mechanic throughout the week and then I am working on the weekends. Leaving only some evenings for me to work on my car. But I have ordered new suspension and stuff so its deffinately got a long ways to go but I guess thats half the fun of it.

Okay, sorry it took so long. I had to find time to go all the way down to my tuning shop to measure the dead pedal.

I've talked with Autovation about the pedal designs, and as with the FC and FD pedals we can get them with rotor or turbo designs. I asked them to make the pedals slightly wider, but we'll see how they turn out. They are going to start on them tomorrow.

Anyone who is thinking they might buy these, let me know what design you would prefer (plain matte, rotor design, or "TURBO" text) so I can tell them what they should make first.

He's a real ROTOR man, wandering around with his ROTOR plan, for ROTARY.

I think you can tell which ones I want (for a Series 2)
