Thanks for the education. just completed the job. Pay Pal coming your way.

Just rebuilt my pedal assembly, Thanks for the video, it's a great help! ('74 SB)

I installed this kit in my Baja yesterday, my size 14 was much happier. The pedal feel on the clutch was different, it felt more positive or connected. I installed the roller pedal for the accelerator cable the wrong way, it was nice taking the assembly back out and not fiddling with the clutch cable trying to get it back together.

Brilliant work. Thanks for sharing. Big Respect from Mauritius.

PB Blast should sponsor you for all the mentions in the video. Always very informative. Thanks Slade for sharing

I have still to this day never taken one of those apart... repaired many, but never disassembled. I would like to space out all the pedals a little further, spacer kits seem to only move the clutch. Probably gonna "Duckman" a kit of my own. I have more of an issue between the brake pedal and the tunnel, I either can't get on the gas or can't get my foot back out! Haha!

Hi Slade, I don't have big feet but when I had my 65 bug years ago which I knew how to do this then. Good video👍

Excellent detail! Thank you! I am looking forward to the video where you identify inspection points to look for when buying a classic Beetle. I hope you have a good weekend.....

That was Hilarious ... The part about the Towels 😂😂 this time is a light green😂😂

I have the big boy with throttle kit. A remarkably smooth throttle with plenty of foot room!

Thanks for the video Slade.

I needed this information I've got size 12 😊

Nice job. I recently did this but you got deeper into the refresh than I did.

Excellent video! very informative and interesting.

Thanks buddy 😊

Great work again! Thay is one assembly (system) that I have never gone through or rebuilt. Makes me want to go through ALL of mine! Definitly will do it on Sophie as she gets final assembly after the paint is dinished! Thank you again! Your my HERO buddy!

Im restoring a 71 super beetle that i disassembled in high school, RRALLY appreciate this video! I lost most of the parts and needed a hands on video to follow.

The big boy pedal extension is awesome. I'm glad, I got one years ago on my bug. Those rolls pins are the worst part of the project.

I know this video is a year old...but...wanted to comment anyway. Few years ago now, I had a stand at the Sacramento Bug-O-Rama for my car club and the guy who makes the Big Boy pedal kit, and his wife, had a stand about 50 feet down from me. I got to talking to him and after seeing the innovations on this set up, I bought this kit and the pedal kit for both my son's car and my own. I installed the kits on both cars. What a game changer. Both cars had all of the issues the guy details in his video. The clutch cable attachment is the way it should have come from the factory. It absolutely changes a pain-in-the-ass job into something simple and easy. The real innovation, however, is the pedal. The movement becomes smooth and effortless. My original pedal assembly always had a catch in the movement, caused by bent parts. The new assembly cannot bend like the factory parts can. This set up truely is an advancement of our hobby.

Thanks Bro nice to watch yr asmbely anyway i spare one i will try and do it for my vw 1969

I am doing the pedal cluster too. I will consider the big boy upgrade, thanks for demonstrating it. For me the clutch pedal pin was not too bad to get out but the pedal was VERY tight on the shaft. Took a lot of banging to free it. I used a vice all the way through the process..

Awesome video as usually!!!!

Wow! Thanks for the informative video. I’m restoring my peddle cluster right now your info is very helpful!

Slade….get yourself a roll pin punch set. It will make your life much easier.

Btw, well done video. Sorry I didn't mention that in the previous post

Just received my Big Boy pedal kit, so I'll be watching the video again much closer this time and without beer. Lve love your videos. Very well done!! I'd make oone buttt I stuttter too muchh.

Great video. I picked up a 68 about a month ago, so I will be watching. Alot of stuff was already taken apart, or put together by a monkey. The reassembly might be a little tricky, since I didn't get to see how it came apart. Thanks

Take a real good, close look at that brake pedal to master cylinder pin. Years ago the one in my buggy decided to break in half just as I was approaching US1 in Florida (after leaving a restaurant/bar where I'd had a few.) First press went to the floor, second press was at the top and rock hard with no brakes! Luckily I was able to stop with the parking brake just before sliding onto the highway and into cross traffic. The first press broke the rod/pin, the wrap spring lifted the pedal back up, allowing the pin to droop down and wedge solid against the floor.

nice job.

Thanks for this video. I never knew about this. I will be doing this on my VW.

well that big boy pedal extension is really a great improvement. that pin is always fixed big time but at the end you won lol. its a improvement for safety as well. well done, great video.

Thanks for posting. I've had the kit for 6-7 years (after trying out the designers demo car). I've been too busy/intimidated to install but am gonna give it a go. As someone tall, with big feet and long legs, I notice my hip would get sore driving the beetle. It made sense. Pushing the clutch a hundred times a day. and having to cock my leg sideways a bit. I remember the demo car was a lot more comfortable for me.

Perfect video…in all ways. Each step in detail with instructions. Nice job!

Excellent detailed video! I didn't know about the Big Boy extension so that goes on my wish list.

Thank you..really really nice video

I realize this is an older video, but when using a punch use vicegrips on the punch. You can hold it steady and it saves your fingers/ hand. For loose pins, take a hammer and place the pin on your vice and hit the pin just enough to flatten the pin. That will take out the slack. Also use the vicegrips. Remember to maintain the chamber on the end of the pin.

LoL the clip shooting off... I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Wow turned out great, I have big feet, I’m going to spend the lunch money and get the kit, seems like it makes life better for the space and not fighting the clutch pedal, thanks.

Hahaha bath towel thief. 😂 great instruction.

Thanks this sounds like plan I wear size 15 shoes so I might get me something fabed up for myself

This is relevant to my project its a Chenowth with an Autostick transmission with a secondary actuator for the brake pedal.

Was it just me, or did everyone snicker a little when he Fred Flinstoned his knuckle? Just saying cause I saw it coming! Cause I'm too lazy to put on a rubber doughnut over the Punch and....ya won't get hammered!! lol Also, perhaps using a Blunt End round chisel instead of a pointed one which will flare out the pin and really be stuck even more. Otherwise Awesome awesome video!!!

I think driving the clutch roll pin out is likely how that tab was “adjusted”…

Nice job man! 👍That clutch rod replacement is cool, I've seen them in the past on a few cars, only issue I have come across is the little bushing at the cable wears out.

Another great detailed video. Wish WW would deliver to the UK, they have some nice parts. My concern is that I had to buy lhd pans for my rhd so the groove for the pedal stop isn't there, nor is the thread. I'm going to use a stainless threaded insert and hope it holds up. That definitely worth the upgrade to stop the clutch cable struggle alone.

I would love to see that same video but in a pree 1966 version. Because the assembly is a little different. Mostly the brake part of it.

Great one and a satisfying watch.. - unfortunately RHD pedals I believe cannot be extended

Looking forward to the video on the master cylinder rod, My pedal is low atm, new everything, hard lines, flexi lines, master cylinder, slave cylinders, rear drums, rear shoes, rebuilt front calipers etc. Bled the system many times but pedal still low. Will take any advice - many thanks!

I have learned a ton watching your channel. Was wondering if there is a measurement to adjust the pedal stop vs just saying it goes about here?

TopLine had the best roller pedal out there in my opinion. No side to side slop.

I have a 72super beetle, the pedal spacer seems like a good idea but I also have trouble fitting my foot between the gas pedal and brake…. I’ve heard of people heating the brake pedal shaft and bending it a little. Any ideas?

Great Video. Doing this very soon. Nice Vice, is it a Wilton?

Excellent video !!! I’m finishing up a pan off project with. 67 bug and will be rebuildint the pedal assembly. Can u help me with some part numbers or where to locate them? I need both of the snap rings and the horseshoe ring for the master cylinder rod. Any help would be great.

Pedal to the metal ...

My problem is the brake pedal being too close to the gas pedal. I wear EEE width shoes and I can’t work the gas without my food rubbing the break pedal. Can the brake pedal arm be heated and bent for clearance without ruining whatever temper it has?

is there a reason u didnt use your handy sonic cleaner?

Where do you get that horse shoe clip?

Can you include a link to your supplier
