Dove into the Camaro gas pedal conversion after work today. (I apologize for the potato quality pics, lighting was low and iPhone tried to compensate)
The first and always lovely step was of course removing the drivers seat and spending what felt like an eternity removing the pedal assembly from the car while being jabbed in the back by harness eye bolts, seat brackets, etc. etc. (I also pulled the steering column while I was down there since that needs to be out of the way later.)
Stock gas/brake pedal assembly clamped to the table with some alignment marks for pivot point and such, and Camaro pedal nearby:
The Camaro pedal is very similar to the Miata’s in some ways such as length, angle and travel. However, the mounting layout is entirely different of course so a custom mount is needed in order to place the new pedal in just the same position as the one it replaces.
Stock pedal removed and unneeded mounting fixture cut off leaves the assembly on the left, plus a new additional mounting plate for the Camaro pedal to be welded on:
The added plate welded on as well as a brace along the top to help keep the mount from flexing and studs added:
New pedal mounted up. Pedal position matches the old setup with identical pivot placement and angle.
Then after sandblasting and powdercoating, the bracket is back:
