Hi guys, I have a '56 f100 and am trying to figure out the best gas pedal. Lokar reccomends their Eliminator for my situation but I like the firewall mounted pedal better, it just seems neater. Being from Australia, I can't get to see one before I buy so hence this post. I like the Lokar stuff but just need to get some more "expert" advice from the forum before I decide. Any advice or tips will be appreciated. Cheers.

 

For my '53, I'm using Lokar's chromed spoon pedal (#SPO-6070) and their universal throttle cable, (#TC-1000U). I mounted the pedal on the firewall, and it works just fine.

 

We've got the lokar chromes spoon as well on our 50f1, mounted on the firewall and is good. I just hate the small spoon, its too small for my feet

 

Thanks for the replies. The one I like is the Billet with rubber inserts #BAG-6001 or chrome SG-6007 and match it up with the matching brake pedal & dimmer cover. If the spoon stye works these assemblies should work too I imagine. What do you think?

I have asked the tech guys at Lokar why they reccomend the Eliminator but haven't heard back yet.

 

I have the billet with rubber inserts and matching brake pedal in my 56. Love it.

I had the spoon pedal first, and it really bothered my foot on long rides.

 

That sounds great. This might sound dumb question but having not having seen these pedals I just need to know: Do they just mount to the firewall, with the cable connected to the top lever, hole through F/W and cable a dirsct pull on carb?

Thanks for your help.

 

I used the Lokar Eliminator pedal on my 56 and it was a clean, easy installation. All you see on the firewall side is the cable coming up to the carb. I'm using it again on another project. Just cut a small rectangular hole, drill four holes and it's done. Also is adjustable for angle.

 

aussie1 - What you said. Yes, that's what the billet pedal is like. The firewall-mounted lever is identical between the two pedal styles. Whe I changed over from the spoon to the billet, I only swapped the pedal. Everything else stayed the same.

 

They provide an adjustable connector for thru the FW, and a cut to fit braided cover to the carb.. then the inner cable connects to the pedal and the carb bracket.. this is cut to fit as well, with a little connector to slip on and tighten..

see my gallery for the cab side at least .. for a look at the pedals.. no pics of the cable hookup

Thanks everyone for your help. Just for the record, everytime I've been in touch with Lokar tech help they have been very patient & helpful with their advice. Cheers from OZ!
