Pedal Rubber & Cat for MOT

Can anyone tell me what pedal rubbers fit the standard MK pedals? (brake)

Also, whats involved in fitting a cat to the exhaust system if i cant get the mot tester to believe it doesn't need one?

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Matthew

Find your local skateboarders shop and order a foot of grip tape. It's like adhesive sand paper and can be cut to size once it's on the pedal. It comes in loads of colours and is cheap too.

Matthew,

Vauxhall Corsa rubbers fit the MK standard pedals nicely. Try your local scrappy.

If MOT tester thinks it needs a Cat, try a different MOT testing station. Alternatively, tell him he doesn't know how to do his job properly (although I personally wouldn't recommend the latter)

Actually - the point is he would be knowing how to do it properly, as my car was built by MK technically it does need a cat even though its a pre'94 engine

Thanks for the info - its all appreciated - i never thought of grip tape for sk8rs
