While updating the interior on our '92 B4C, I ordered the reproduction pedal pad kit from Hawks. I was disappointed to discover that the clutch pedal pad was a generic unit and NOT the one with the honeycomb pattern the pedal pads on our car had. Figuring a PO might have just installed a brake pedal pad on the clutch pedal, in spite of the pad looking like it actually had more than 100K miles on it, I had a closer look. The clutch pedal is actually smaller than the brake pedal, and I wasn't sure how the brake pedal pad would last on the clutch pedal. I just installed the Hawks brake pedal pad on the brake pedal and went on to other projects.
When checking out Screaming Chicken's web site, I discovered they marketed a reproduction clutch pedal pad that had the OEM-like pattern and ordered one. It's now on the car and looks like OEM, other than the missing wear. It was harder to remove the old pad than install the repro pad, but that may have been because I kept having to go back to the toolbox to get different tools to help pry the one one off, so they were already there for the install.
Would recommend.
Comparing old to reproduction. Reproduction pad installed.
Note that I haven't replaced the gas pedal. That's for another day......
Gene, thank you for posting about the clutch pedal pad. I've got a set of used, 4th gen pedals in my current project car-LS427/570, Tremec T56 Magnum F swapped, 1987 IROC Z. The original pedal pads look well worn and I'm going to replace them. I'll probably order the pedal pads when I order my Reverse, Double DIN install kit from Screaming Chicken.

I just noticed that you're in Pearland, TX.
Yep! We live in the swamp. We do have doodles we've rescued that we found in the Montgomery area. Beautiful part of the state!!

It is nice up here. We've lived here for a little over 10 years and it's really growing and getting busy. Lots of traffic and more and more traffic lights all the time.

We used to live up in Jersey Village, but that was back when the beltway was known as West Belt and the usual route between 290 and I10 was Brittmore. Jackrabbit Road was a common route to IAH then, but now, it's a stoplight every 20 feet, or so, and none of them are in sync! Moved down southeast after I graduated from HS so Dad could be closer to his job flying out of Hobby airport. After I got married, we bought a little place on 2.5 acres out in north Brazoria County and have loved it.
I hear you about the lights and traffic, though. It's getting so we don't want to leave the house on the weekends. Luckily, we have enough projects here to keep us busy on the weekends, so was can stay home.
