The pedals have been thoroughly designed in FEA software so they are as light and strong as possible.
Postage to Europe and UK is 10GBP. The pedals normally sells for 30GBP.
Brake pedal: Just take a look at the two FEA software images. The first of them is my own design and the second is the original design as
provided in the book. After a number of design improvement iterations i came to the final one which is stronger, stiffer and lighter! Weight for the
original design was 317,73 gr and maximum stress was 5,451e+005 N/m^2. My final design weighs 283,9 gr and maximum stress is 5,048e+005 N/m^2. So we
have a brake pedal 7% stronger and 10% lighter!
Clutch pedal: The original design weighs 159 gr and the final design was 144,79 gr. Maximum stress for the original is 8,315e+004 N/m^2 and for
the final one 8,439e+004 N/m^2. That means that for 10% less weight we had only 1% more stress.
Throttle pedal: This pedal is not under any big stress during its operation but none the less, i would like to cut off a bit of steel mass.
After the modifications i made to the design, the final design weighed 141,36 gr instead of the 155,93 gr of the original. This is a slight
improvement but it is something. For the original design the maximum stress was 6.766e+004 N/m^2 and for the final design the stress went down to
6,669e+004 N/m^2! Lighter and stronger!
