Are these cool or what????
 

I just got these from my machinist, what do you think?

[borat]NICE!!!!!!!!!!!![/borat]

very trick pieces, makes me wonder what we'll be seeing in 10 years...

Those are friggin shweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm guessing they are for a wilwood/tilton style pedal assy?

maybe. :D

Those are insane. :thumbsup:

Ya like you said, get a chain and wear them around your neck. Those are sik fo shizzle :thumbsup:

dude those are BA! :woot:

Paul

lol, I have to agree.

Cool pieces, Rodger. :thumbsup:

Very cool. It's amazing how accessible good CNC technology is nowadays. :thumbsup:

Thanks guys. I have been waiting a little while to get these bad boys for the truck. We are looking at bring these to market if there is enough interest. We have some others stuff in the works currently also.

Rodger

Its not that the cnc machines have improved that much it’s the programming of them with capability of programs like master cam

Absolutely! That's why I said CNC technology and not CNC machines. It's not just that it's improved either, it's how accessible it is. It wasn't that long ago that pieces that intricate would only be common in the aerospace industry.

Very Nice!

I bought Solidworks about 6 months ago and had some help from my friend in the aerospace industry. Wait until you see his car if you think these pedals are cool.

Rog........ they look good man. I think they look a little "bulky"... but still nice looking pieces. I will say that if you anodized those a dark color that will help slim em up a little.....

Nice work Rodger... I dissagree with Tony.....
With how hard you guys will drive that car, if you make them any thinner you'll break 'em :unibrow:
Lookin good... :thumbsup:

I wanted to make them look like my buddy from airirde, Tony. He is bulky also.

one step at a time, I have to get them in my time zone and then decide which color to anodize. I have few more airbag parts to anodize also thanks to my polisher...

Rodger

Those look hot!

Rog..... I forgot to mention that the hillary campaign is going to be here in town. You want me to go ahead and drop your contributions off while I am on my way over to the republican party dinner ?

Well your still bulky

If you need anything polished we have the guy here in town. He makes it all look like chrome! Those pedals would shine so much it would be like having neon under the dash...:lol:

Does that mean a certain someone (HWY Nova) is bringing one of his cars to Ironworks. well which one Eric?

I'm gonna change the name of the shop to NOVA-works. We have discussed a convertible.

Really nice work. If I had not had a bad experience with aluminum, I'd never ask or suggest this. I fabbed a new bracket for a harley foot pad on the right side due to different pipe setup. I made the aluminum one 2 times the thickness of the steel one, but when I stress tested it, (stomped the heck out of it) it snapped. good thing it happened in my shop and not on the road!! So you may want to at least see what the pedal does at 200 and 300 lbs at the pad with a rigid mount at the other end. Again BEAUTIFUL work but there is that ever nagging function and safety part of it.

New Shop Name......
 

I like the new shop name: NOVA-Works....... It has a nice ring to it!

As far as the pedal design vs. safety:
1) the pedals that these are replacing are cast, these are billet,
2) the old pedals are a T-section, these are a modified I-beam section, and
3) I'll double check, but I believe all of the cross sections are as thick, if not slightly thicker, than the cast sections.

Safety is always a concern, and is included in any design that comes out of Ironworks, I mean NOVA-Works!

--Eric

I would only worry about the brake pedal. the stock clutch pedal in my BMW is plastic, so that means that if BMW thinks plastic will work fine than Aluminum is more than enough.

The most imortant pedal.....
 

With Rodger, the most important pedal is probably the GAS PEDAL!

The gas pedal does not have to be strong, beacuse it is always shoved against the floor. Now the cable on the other hand is another story.

Rodger

And.........
 

Don't forget about the all-important parachute-release-handle!

LOL!!! Isn't that the truth!!:rofl:

Those pedals look SWEET!!!! I really like the design.

My buddy's 03 cobra has a 60 lb clutch and that force is multiplied on the short side. In NO way was I discounting you or saying you didn't think things through. I just wanted to shed light on MY experience in which I doubled the thickness and it was weaker than the original. Granted I didn't stress the original, just the one I made. You may want to sacrifice one of the clutch and brake pedals just to see at what weight they fail anyway. Like I said before, BEAUTIFUL pieces, can't wait to see them installed.
