We're back in the shop at work for an unplanned upgrade on the 1967 Sunroof Beetle with a first view of EMPI's upgraded, ball bearing equipped, Accelerator Pedal Kit. Sam is a fan of stock style accelerator pedals in lieu of the often installed "roller" pedals. Roller pedals are commonly installed because the stock accelerator pedal linkage wears out and the accelerator pedal starts to get clunky or notchy. EMPI has engineered a new roller lever with a sealed long life bearing equipped roller, that mounts to an upgraded lever. The upgraded Accelerator Pedal Kit includes a replacement pedal pad, pedal, and the exclusive EMPI lever, roller bearing, and mounting hardware. The accelerator pedal kit will improve the feel and engagement of the throttle for improved drive-ability and smoother acceleration. EMPI's upgraded Accelerator Pedal Kit fits 1967 through 1977 Standard Beetles, 1971 through 1979 Super Beetles, 1967 through 1974 Karmann Ghias and 1973 through 1974 Things. Follow along as Sam installs the Accelerator Pedal Kit and covers the minor modifications needed and then takes the pedal for a test drive!
