Custom trap style brake pedal
Custom trap style brake pedal. 1) |
The brake pedal has to be removed for cutting and shaping.
First, to cut the OEM 'arm' off with an angle grinder.
Then to shape it flat on top and the right side and drill & tap a hole to install the “Trap” Style pedal.
The existing pedal was cut off with an angle grinder. 2) | ||
Brake arm sanded smooth on top and the side. 3) | ||
Pedal fitted to mark the hole location. The hole was drilled with a 17/64“ bit, and then threaded with a 5/16”-24 tap. (same bolt that comes with the Trap Shift Peg, or the same thread as used on the shifter) This hole could have been drilled straight through with a nut on the end of the bolt but this way looks cleaner. 4) |

Mod for Using a Shifter Peg on the Brake Lever
The stock brake pedal was cut off the lever.
Make the cuts. 8) |
The end was shaped and a hole was drilled and tapped 1/4“x20 to accept the shifter pedal.
A 17mm socket was used to drive out the plastic sleeve before powder coating.
Be sure to let the powder coater (if not you) all areas to tape off before application.
Else the powder coat will end up hindering installation and / or operation.
