What to use for pedal anti-slip

Whats the best thing to put on a set of home made pedals to make them SVA "anti-slip" compliant - appologies if this post should be in the SVA section. Cheers.

Grip tape works well but it will put holes in your racing boots pretty quick . Street shoes should be fine though.

I went into the local skateboard / snowboard emporium and asked for some grip tape or deck tape. The young girl working there smiled brightly and said "Of course - is it for your son?". I told her it was for me and she looked a bit taken aback, then she recovered her composure and said "Cool!!". I think she had an image in her head of me down at the nearest half-pipe. As a result they gave me the tape for free. I didn't tell them what it was for.

Anyway - here are the finished pedals.

Cheers,

Eddy

Hand throttle in the middle of the steering wheel, plus a choke lever and manual advance/retard. You'll all be fitting them soon!

Anti Slip Tape

I use skateboard grip tape. The only problem is the adhesive gets soft when things get a bit hot and the grip tape moves or comes off.

I would guess 3M do a product at big cost!

I used MAC#1 supplied Apache helicopter running board/access step grip tape.


Beat that.





Skateboard tape would probably do the same job but doesnt quite have the prestige

Alternative solutions

Make the pedals to fit standard rubbers.

Pop rivet on some alloy diamond tread plate.

Go to halfrauds and ask to see what pedal rubbers () they have.

I belive transit rubbers fit the floor pedal box, and then use the grip tape for the acc pedal
