Adding the dead pedal ranks right up at the top of the best things I have done to this Jaguar... makes driving much more comfortable.

The pedal is from a 90's Mustang (under $10.00 USD used on EBay) and the metal piece is from ACE hardware in the trim department.

Cut the metal piece to fit and drill holes and attach with sheet metal screws...

But instead of using sheet metal screws like I did to hold the actual pedal to the metal piece - use bolts with a nut on the front side holding it in place so it works like a stud.. the screws come loose over time and I will change them out for bolts and nuts the next time mine get loose. Then use
self locking nuts so they will stay tight.

The Series 1 has the high beam button on the floor but making the pedal placement properly you can still easily reach it. The proper distance from
the floor for the pedal is the same as the gas pedal or what you find is comfortable for your body. Even large wide feet fit properly!

 

Neat! Avoids accidental brake pedal riding, Just barely room in my car for my "normal" sized feet. Work boots not accommodated!!!


Englishmen must have narrow feet and wear foot gear in similar dimensions.


There is a neat product for secure blind bolt installations, trade name, "Nutserts". I have a kit of HF sourcing. Similar, with tools to install,
Trouble, I don't get the method!!!


I do have some inserts designed for cabinetry of the expansion variety that just might work. Of the sheet rock expansion variety, but tougher and larger.


I used some in the mounts for my restored ancient Atlas lathe.
In wood, though!
