Matching GT500 style dead pedal cover
Hello all,
My company has been working on a matching dead pedal pad for the 2007 GT500 style pedals that are also an option on other mustang models. These pedals are also available for retrofit on the 2005 and 2006 cars.
I am not trying to advertise for free here. I am basically trying to get some feedback on the design and some handle on how desirable something like this would be.
The pedal has been CAD designed to match the factory pedal style and cover up the carpeting in the dead pedal footrest area to prevent staining and soiling of the factory carpet (especially the lighter colors)
Here are the prototype images. I do not have the mounting arrangement finalized yet but I am working on ideas to keep it in place and hopefully not require drilling holes in the car. But that is not as easy as it sounds as most dead pedal pads are attached with screws. I would like some feedback on whether you guys would be willing to drill 2-4 small holes in the existing dead pedal wedge for mounting purposes.
It is constructed of CNC laser cut 304 polished stainless with a final brushed finish and 1/16" thick to ensure it will not bend or dent. It is shaped to cover most of the carpeted area that gets dirty from normal use. Because it is high grade 304 stainless it is highly resistant to pitting and corrosion from winter road salt if you use your car year round.
I don’t have final pricing yet as it would greatly depend on the demand for this item. But if anyone is interested in getting one of these, send me an e-mail, and I will look into doing a production run and getting pricing finalized ASAP for what ever quantity I get demand for. Maybe I can work out a group price for forum members or something for the first runs.
Basically at this point I am trying to figure out what kind of quantity we are looking at on this item.
All that are interested can send me a PM or an e-mail at omaglato1@juno.com and we will get it going.
I also have a source for the factory pedals themselves and may be able to supply those as well at under CDC and Ford prices but cannot say for sure yet.
Sincerely,
Nick Korinis
note: Please ignore the clutch pedal pad that is damaged. I think it was a defect as a chunk came off of it shortly after install. I haven’t had a chance to replace it yet.

Sure, if I do it autos will be included. I dont happen to own an auto, so I would have to see if the dead pedal is the same or what the story is.
But I think the pedals themselves are availible for the auto.
