Default Sure. Easy to find on oempl.us. Link below.

Note that $129 price is for just the brake &amp; gas. The dead pedal is an add-on for $20.

I just hope this dead pedal is an easy fit, and doesn't suffer the TT tab issue.<ul><li><a href="http://oempl.us/product_info.php?products_id=33&amp;osCsid=1f0afb9 5d0df8587ead18765154e26fe">Pedal set</a></li></ul>

that's the GLI dead pedal and it won't fit the A3, you would need the MK2 TT dead pedal.

That's what I thought. I found that one but the dead pedal didn't look like it would fit.

Default yep. you'd need to get the GLI gas/brake/clutch (if you have stick) pedals along with the mk2 tt

dead pedal to have the full set.

Default Yeah - glued my tab back on too. Much cleaner install. I used...

Devcon's High Strengh Titanum Epoxy. It's like liquid plastic. I think it holds up to 3000lbs. It set up in 2 minute and totally dried in a few hours. It will never come off.

Pedal snapped in place and the bottom holds close to the floor like the factory pedal.

Silver_Patrone: Why did you use the factory tab. Did you butcher the TT pedal's tab when removing? I just used the original pedal for alinment never removed its tab.

Default I used stock since it stuck out more- and would hold better in the slot.

the curvature was better on the A3 one.

Default An alternate solution...

- Remove the tab(and discard)

- Use pop rivets to secure a large patch of velcro(loop side) to the aluminum plate behind the carpeting(since the adhesive backing won't stick to the carpet). I think used 6 pop rivets equally spaced over velcro patch.

- Attach the corresponding patch of velcro(hook side) to the back of the dead-pedal.

Mine has been installed since Feb. and it hasn't worked loose yet.

Well, that's bizarre -- I thought I saw someone mention having the GLI pedals installed

i think they meant the gas, brake &amp; clutch GLI pedal and not the dead pedal.

Default I used the slider on the left side. No screw at all. Do you guys have issues

with the dead pedal moving around?
