Accelerator Pedal Options

My accelerator pedal snapped recently and left only the small bottom section attached to the floor.

After a couple of weeks driving around like that I removed the small section from the floor but half of the thread snapped off so I've not got a tall enough thread to bolt the new pedal on. So far I've tried making the hole in the pedal bigger and using a stud connector, this did hold the new pedal in but it kept sticking when I put my foot right down so I'm back driving without a pedal.

Are there any pedals I can buy that don't need to be bolted to the floor or any ideas how I can attach the new one without removing the old threads and having new ones welded on?

The sticking is caused by not having the pedal in the right position. Go back and try again but just have a few pushes of the pedal with the motor off till you get it lined up properly.
 
One of my S2's that I owned did the same , the pedal stuck right down full throttle . I purchased a brand new pedal from PC and fitted it thinking it would resolve the problem ? Ends up same again ! What had happened was that when I had my front tyre replaced , the man put the jack more on the floor and had push the floor up slightly . using a rubber mallet I managed to hit the floor back down and all was well again .
Your stud problem ? You will need to drill them out and fit a nut and bolt straight through the floor , with the door open you can reach under to hold the bolt head . Use stainless steel bolts so they do not rust and make sure the floor pan is level.
 
I was wondering if a repair like this would be possible to the actual pedal once you've sorted the studs out?

Dunc.
 
That is not a 944 Pedal ? totally different . the 944 assembly is very basic compared to that thread of the 996 pedal .

There are old threads on this forum about the accelerator pedal , check floor pan !
 
EMC do a throttle pedal mod that involves welding a small plate onto the end of the metal arm/rod onto which one can then bolt any after-market throttle pedal. Works great as apart from anything else it gives much sharper and more finely controlled movement on the throttle than the horrible original organ pedal assembly.

That sounds like a good option depending on the cost, would save me doing anything with the floor.
