• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Bigger Brake Pedal

I've searched around a bit, but can't find something specific?

Has anyone found a bigger/larger brake pedal pad for a ST ?

Perhaps I need to call some of the sites that sell the pads, because they just don't seem to list ST in their product lines yet?

I find that the factory brake pad is sorta small to hit, hoping to find something 2-3 times larger that bolts on?

I thought Reggie at TricLED had something that might work. You could also do up something yourself as it wouldn't take too much work or engineering to make a new pad.

Brake Pad

I haven't done it yet but I'm going to take the pad that we to when in installed the Seal boards, weld a short piece of scrap metal (as long as its flat) to the break peddle then cut you may have to cut off a little of the rubber, and there you have it, an extended break peddle cut off length to suit you. Then I took the foot peg rubber and after drilling holes to match you have it. Just don't make it too long.
 
I did my own brake pedal mod by replacing it with a car rubber pedal I bought from orielly auto part store. I can send you a picture if you want.

Please do.

I was hoping for a simple bolt on, but not sure if the pad is even separate from the rod/lever?

I don't really need it higher I believe I would just like more surface area so it's easier to hit....especially in an emergency.
 
Brake pedal Mod

I used a piece of aluinum & made it about 1.25" wider. I them mounted the oroginal pedal pad on top of the fabricated piece. I have no trouble finding it now.

I see a possible problem with your setup. For many reasons the brake pedal could have some extra travel. For that reason, BRP has setup the floorboards with a release mechanism so the the front of the right floorboard will fall away so you still have full pedal travel. If the pedal pad hits the floorboard before the pedal arm hits the release trigger it could be dangerous. I think it is something to check out.

Thanks for the heads-up & info on the floor board release. I didn't know about that. I had given some thought to the pedal hitting the floorboard, for 1 of many reasons, but figured if I lost that much travel quickly, I'd be in deep doo - doo anyway.
