The wife is asking for a Christmas list... gotta love it! Anyway is anyone running a dead pedal that mounts to that flat spot on the left? Is there one that matches the M6 GT premium pedals (if there's any dif), does it use an existing mounting hole up under the kick panel, etc. and whos making such a piece? thanks
Dead pedal... lol not a major mod.

This the one I have kept coming across that matches the OEM pedals. Mustang Dead Pedal (2005-12)
You could also go with Lloyd's floor mats to cover the dead pedal area.

I used one out of a Ford 500 in my 08. it was just a plastic part with push tabs.
thanks guys. FYI, here's a thread on another forum as well

I'll probably end up making one lol. Everything turns into a project... too darn picky.

The SRP pedal has no provision to allow it to be "bolted" in like most of the other dedicated, dead pedals I see offered. Their pedals, however, are top notch in terms of quality...

Then how does the pedal get installed? :shrug: I've seen a guy with a Boss 302 with SRP Pedals and has the dead pedal and it looks like it came from the factory.
Just read your write up. Good job. Very detailed. My question is, you said SRP provided stainless steel screws with wood style tips for the dead pedal, how'd it install? You said there isnt stamped steel underneath so it's carpet and padding mostly. Does it sit well and in place or what?
Jamie, it "sits" well. It fits perfectly. It's the means of attachment that is sorely lacking. Most every other dedicated S197 dead pedal available utilizes an integral attachment point that slips behind the kick panel and gets sandwiched between existing fasteners. SRP doesn't go that far.
In other words, it is held in place with screws that penetrate the rigid underlayment/carpet. Completely inadequate, IMHO. I'll probably fabricate a plate/bracket and then anchor the SRP dead pedal into that.
Again, it fits very well and is functionally as well as aesthetically proportionate given the location. I have a feeling that Brian at SRP could whip something up and include it in the Mustang kits at a relatively modest price increase.

Thanks man. Sorry for all the questions.
I got a dead pedal from this site:
StangDeadPedals.com - Mustang Dead Pedals
Got it in August 2010 for my '11 GT. The pedal is awesome. It hammers into the existing carpeted hump, so it sits flush and looks factory. It covers the whole area, and it is very firm and secure. I think it is perfect.

As strange as it sounds that seems like the best size, shape and secure mounting i have seen so far! Thanks
