metal pedal pads?

[sharpshooter33 at roadrunner.com (David Brown)]

I like the ones in my rocco. They are larger than the standard pads and they 
have metal knarling bumps(almost like cleats) that didn't let my feet slip 
like they did on worn rubber ones. I wouldn't want to put my foot on these 
puppies barefoot. The ones on ebay all look slick with no grip

Thanks
David

Try to avoid metal pedal pads on a street car.
With metal pads, even those with rubber buttons, when you step into a manual 
car with wet soles on your shoes (from rain, washing the car, dew on the 
grass, etc.), you stand a very good chance of a pulled thigh muscle from 
trying to keep your foot on the clutch pedal.  :)  BTDT.

Metal "race" pads are pure form-over-function.  You should know that since 
you have them on your 'Roc.

If you still want to put them on your Jetta, any ricer shop with sell them 
to you.  A little internet searching will turn up a dozen sources.

Good luck.

  Who makes manual tranny pedal pads (oversized, Metal) for 80's VW's

  Are they a generic type or do they need custom?

  I've got a set on my rocco and wondering where I can get a set for my 86 
Jetta

  Thanks
  David
