    I am assuming you had the same issue as me. I also take it that the problem is now gone?? Sounds like a great fix......

    OK everyone. I know it's been a while but I have 11 more done. I have been busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. To make life a little easier I am just going to set a flat rate for shipping. Mostly cause the UPS estimater has been low on every one I have shipped so far. So $62 includes UPS ground shipping to anywhere in the continental US. If you want to pay by credit card through paypal please add $3 cause that's what I get charged by pay pal for credit card transfers. Please PM me and I will reply with my paypal account and I can email the install instructions as a pdf. Sorry for the change in the rules but I just need to simplify this. Thanks, Ron

    Anyone that doesn't have a dead pedal, and wants one needs to jump on this.
    I can attest to the quality and functionality of these dead pedals.
    Don't know for sure, but I doubt Ron is gonna just keep cranking these out, so get em while there are some available!

    Exactly what does a 'dead pedal' do?

    Do a search and you'll find an answer.

    From SgtMac's latest post: "A dead pedal is many things to many people, but it's original intent on the Marauder was to give shorter folks some "floor" for their left foot. Kenny Brown is about 5'8" tall.

    I'm 5'9", wear a 9-10 size shoe (depending on shoe style), and I can't touch the floor when seated in my favorite driving position. With a dead pedal in place, I can brace myself in the seat with my left foot, while my right is free to brake or accelerate.

    I am sure I am exerting much down force of the pedal, so, it's got to be strong and securely mounted, and this frees my upper body to control the car without getting thrown around in the twisties/hard cornering.

    You guys over 6'/size 13, could prolly care less...LOL!"

    Last call for dead pedals. I have a few left. If there's no takers I will post on Ebay for kicks but I wanted to offer them here first one last time.

    Got the pedal installed this weekend. SUPER SWEET!!!

    It sits right where you need it, stout as hell, looks killer and doesn't interfere with the interior trim (no cutting except for on the wire harness behind the kick panel) or floormat.

    I don't think I could live without it now.

    BC4E, thanks for all your hard work. Very much appreciated on this end.

    How funny, I just noticed your location in Middletown Ct. I went to Highschool at Xavier High but I lived in North Branford. I miss the scenery but not the winters.

    Gotcha....don't really care for the winter's myself (but like having all 4 seasons). Wouldn't mind seeing a little snow today though, it's over 90 with some monster humidity kicking right now...
