Parts for a Vintage Speedster 57 tribute.
Does anyone know where to buy the classic VW Beetle gas/brake/clutch pedals in aluminum? I’m looking for the type that screw mounts through the front as pictured here.
Thanks in advance!

They’re all over ebay, Amazon, and I’m sure just about every VW supplier.
Here’s a OMP set a lot like the Sparco set I have.

I’ve googled and checked Amazon. No luck for some reason. But these are great. Thanks!
If you use the OMP aluminum pedals, you can cut a slight taper on the sides to look more like the shape of a 356 pedal.
Also, I cut the original brake and clutch pad off the arms and welded a smaller square piece with two tapped holes for the bolts in the aluminum pedal.
Thanks. So you didn’t use the aluminum gas pedal pad?
No, I used the OEM rubber pad pedal. I felt much more secure with it from a functional standpoint. I did not like putting bolts thru the gas pedal and making sure they would not hang up somewhere. Plus, I like the look of the old school rubber pedal. I'm weird about things.
James, I agree with you that’s why I asked.
Thanks
@Colorjockey - did you ask Jim @jncspyder? The photo you show is his black coupe. (BTW, are you Tony of County Line C&C?)
Yes. Jim is the one who suggested I post to the group. I was with him on Saturday. He didn’t remember where he bought his.
Yes, County Line C&C is me. 😊
I went with these. At first I thought they might be too big. But they worked out great! Thanks for the suggestions guys!
