Hi all,
DId a search but couldn't find any details.
I just got a set of Ultimate pedals for my beast...good quality. My issues before installing are two-fold.

1. I got the accelerator pedal with the "upper left extension for heel-toeing". I noticed that when I lay the new pedal over the old, the angles don't match up perfectly. In other words, when the base of the new pedal and the OEM are aligned, the edges of the pedal are off by almost 1/4 inch. (thus if I were to only align the edges, the base is not exactly flush with the OEM one) Am I expecting too much, or is this a slightly faulty design?

2. To install the dead pedal...how do I get the OEM one off easily? (I assume this is necessary for good fit, since the new one will not sit flush without such removal)

Any help from those of you who have been there before me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Brian
