Stealth Auto 300C Pedals & Stuff Installed

I ordered a set of rear turn bulbs, full pedal set and tire air stem caps from Stealth Auto. Got them all installed today on my Heritage Edition. Only trouble was a little confusion on the pedals, but after checking here and LXforums, I found my way just fine after all.

Here are some pictures of the pedals, and a stem cap for your enjoyment.





Stem Cap... Hmmm... look like I've got some micro-scratches on that chrome cladding! Grrr.


For those who may not know, Aaron has an "installation pictorial" posted over at LXforums which explains all you need to know for the installation of these beautiful pedal covers.

The only thing I would add is this. The underlying brake pedal structure has a depression on the front side, and something MUST be placed in this to fill the depression or the rubber backing will flex into the depression and the "nubs" of the new pedal covering are going to "flop" down flush (or worse) to the metal face of the pedal cover.

I used four thicknesses of the packaging foam envelope in which one of the pedal pieces was enclosed. It's easy to cut to the shape and provides both filler and flexibility behind the rubber backing. Only time will tell whether it deteriorates over time and repetitive braking.

I didn't take any pictures of the rear turn installation as that has been covered by others and, really, there's not much at which to look.

Edit to add: I really like the metal air stem caps. I had not even realized that the original caps that came with the TPM stems were plastic. It wasn't until I took them off and rolled them in my fingers and felt the "squishiness" of them that I realized they were plastic... and not that substantial. These new ones are the real deal!
