Morning!
I've spent some time yesterday reading about floor panel rust repairs so I have a pretty good idea on what to do, but was wondering about how to go about fixing the accelerator foot pedal. When pulling the mat up, it broke away from its base. Probably fairly straight forward, but it was getting dark and I hadda stop for the night.
Plus curious to know what you all think about the severity of the rust. Having never dealt with this kind of project before, I am in the dark.
Thanks,
R
EDIT: Just spent some more time researching the pedal fix and looking at the parts list and image...doesn't look so easy after all. The base and pedal are all one assembly. The base looks like some sort of "base metal" or aluminum. I was hoping to separate the pedal from the base and make something similar to it from some scrap steel, but now I don't know if that's possible.
