After market pedals

kieran40 · Apr 19th, 2015, 13:12

Mot time soon for me I've fitted some road legal aftermarket pedals 2 went on straight but the clutch pedal I couldn't get on straight it's at a angle but doesn't affect the operation at all, is that a mot failure

Photos dude!

I'll get some up later Druid

it's on secure and doesn't snag the other pedals.

@skyship they are not tuv approved pedals and they didn't come in a volvo box but I'm sure volvo and the men in Brussels wouldn't object to that lol

Where I used to work the cars had the accelerator pedal in the middle! Pretty scary when you forget & hit what you think is the brake pedal. Never an issue at MOT time & the pedals were where ever they could fit them.

I think there is a requirement for there to be a minimum 50mm gap between pedals. From what I read this may not be a MOT requirement but and EEC guideline. Probably will be fine but YMMV depending on MOT tester.

I reckon that the only part of the test that would relate specifically to the clutch pedal itself is "Driving Controls" in which case you would only fail if:

1. A driving control is:
a. functionally incomplete
b. cracked, fractured or excessively corroded
a. obstructed or impeded in its travel
d. positioned so it cannot be operated without impairing proper control of the vehicle
e. insecure.

2. Presence of rubbish or other items likely to interfere with the proper control of the vehicle.

3. Anti-slip provision on clutch pedal pad missing, loose or worn smooth.

So, going on that I can't see anything about your setup that should attract a fail.
