I'm looking to fit a nice set of pedals to replace the standard rubber jobbies.
Obviously not outlandish max power efforts, but something that blends with the rest of the lovely Cerb interior....
Any recommendations?

Well they aren't aluminium, but the Leven pedals are the usual upgrade route:

Rather expensive of course.

I used to find the original TVR clutch pedal somewhat uncomfortably as it is only an inch wide and I like to wear thin-soled shoes for feel. With the Levens fitted it is much more comfortable, made it worthwhile for me anyway.

Anyone got any instructions/help as to how to fit these as I just picked up a set of new ones with no instructions which I think are the TVR original ones (that, some say, came in the boot for the 4.5s... :->)?

Thanks!

The story I heard was that TVR couldn't fit them for some legal reason or another so they put them in the boot during build. Some dealers fitted them during PDI, some charged for them as an optional extra and sometook them from the boot and kept quiet. I've no idea if any of it's true, could just be pub talk. Mine has them though.

Mine are fitted with a countersunk Allen key, bolted onto the originals. I guess you just drill a hole through the old pedals and fit them.

Thanks for the replies and yes I read the story/fact about the Aluminium pedals on the Cerbera FAQ http://www.pistonheads.com/tvr/cerbera/faq.htm

Back to the pedals I bought, actually they seem to be fully adjustable Leven Technology ones, rather than the same as in the picture above of the Cerbera ones as they seem to match the PDF I found from Leven on the Internet.

Anyone got any fitting instructions for those???

Aahh, you have the proper jobbies. Mine must be cheapo ones - damm smile
Fitting is pretty straightforward. The pedals on a standard one have a threaded rod on to adjust them, so just undo the adjusting nut, and unscrew, then replace with the new. Hard to describe exactly how to fit the others, but it's a lot easier if you get your head in the footwell and start unbolting, then all will become clear. It's not hard.

I fitted the Leven ones to my chim, the clutch and brake just screw in on the threaded bar. The throttle is the whole arm and the singal worst job i have done to date on the car trying to get the cable fitted to the new arm while upside down using one arm is a pig of a job 5 hours for me to do it. The pedals are great them self great for heal toeing.
