Gas pedal options
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.

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.

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.
