OEM PRObuilt Pedal Assembly Service - 1450 OEM PRObuilt Pedal Assembly Service - 1450

Debuting on November 24th, 2023, the PRO's are proud to introduce the PRObuilt Pedal Assembly Service! This is a service of your existing pedal assembly, meaning it can not be purchased outright, no exceptions. It is built on LHD (Left Hand Drive) only.

Once purchased, the PRO's will email you a prepaid shipping label to pay for the shipping of your pedal assembly. You can then drop it off at your local FedEx DropOff location or a Walgreens location near you.

Once received, the PRO's will disassemble the pedal assembly and Ammonia Dip all the components to see the conditions of all parts received. If replacement parts are needed, these parts will be an additional cost. Pedal bushings, spring, pads and hardware are included in the purchase of this service. The OEM Clutch Lever will be reused if possible. If not, a replacement clutch shaft will be supplied with the purchase.

All steel parts will be powder coated satin black and the pedal base will be smoothed out, bead blasted and oil soaked for a clean, sano, finish. An option will be to install a early style cruiser pedal to replace the terrible factory pedal option. All standard steel parts will be gun blued.

New Cables are optional. Pictures shown are from our Chassis Builds and only include what is listed above.

Classic VW Billet Cruiser Pedal 1455 The Standard Classic VW Cruiser Pedal - 1455

It's a pretty huge deal to insinuate a new product that isn't even out yet, will become the standard...but it will. Introducing, The Standard. This pedal will be copied by everyone, because it has been perfected in every way. Currently, it is only available with our OEM PRObuilt Pedal Service and will soon be available by itself. Some models will require modifications based on OE design but, we both know, it will be totally worth it.

These pedals are made out of a chunk of aluminum and swivel on an integrated lower leg with a counter sunk bolt for ultra clean looks. This pedal will be machined in stages to allow for the ultimate look. On the next to last step, the pedal will be hard anodized a, clear MIL- A-8625 T III Class 1 finish, followed by a final machine finish on the textured grip of the pedal. Guaranteed, your foot won't slip off of this one! Hardware included.
