Purposely chosen orange to suit my car colour... I know is Waliao-eh cheap... Haha...
So I prepared the rubber surfaces to be installed.
Wipe with wet cloth, then damped cloth.
Then applied my RM2 protectant on the pedal's rubber. Coat 3 layers and dry it...
Looks shining and wet now...
But I went out with car after that...
Then I repeated the steps above again... Maybe coated like 10 layers of protectant on the pedal...
(Now it's easier to clean as the pedals are water and dust -repellant dy)
Then I waited for it to dry and install the pedals...
This 3 pedals took me 3 hours to install it...
Shining under broad daylight...
Notice the left most bottom is a screw instead of normal hexagonal screw?
Because if use the normal hexagonal screw, the screw head will eventually wear off before I even managed to tighten it... So I opted for a provided phillips screw and screwed it tight.
I even removed some stucked hex-screws... Stucked because of their heads wore off when it's tighten too hard. Then I used drill to screw the head and then slowly unscrew it's body out... Left a lot of metal dust on my car floor mat...
LEFT: Screw head and it's body separated using a drill... With a lot of metal dust around...
RIGHT: Normal screw
The cheapest, the easiest, the most worth-the-work-and-time DIY mod. I expect these pads would last some time... Now even shoe sole got spikes also not scared... The pad pieces are made of metals...
And now I can push the clutch into full more easily...
At least no KRACK!!! sound when shifting gear sometimes...
(P.S.: I actually shifted the clutch with the brake pads position... If not sometimes when I press brake also can touch accelerator leh... You won't want that... What a design...)
Check back often... There will be a minor update tomorrow...
