PEDAL TO THE METAL! The other day I was looking at some parts left over from a restoration. I came across a new looking gas pedal? I wondered if it was reproduction or NOS? So I got an old used one and found the part number then picked up the new one and stopped in my tracks as to how much lighter it was! The heck with the part numbers and get out the scale!! This new pedal weighed 15.5 ounces and the old one a pound a then some! WOW! What a neat find. This morning I removed the gas pedal from the race car and it weighed 1LB 3.4 ounces or 19.4 ounces. This little project shaved another 3.9 ounces off the front! You never know where the next gain is going to come from!! MJ
