I don't think there is a how to on these mate.
But to be honest fitting the accelerator arm is not a problem but the brake & clutch are a lot more difficult.
You would be better drilling the rivets out of those 2 and then riveting them to your pedals on the ctr.
The accelerator pedal comes off very easily, you just need to remove a couple of plastic covers that are in the way to get at the bolt that holds it on then just un hook the accelerator cable.

ahh well erm let me see, i swapped out the whole unit but its not the easiest thing to describe
as hov said accel pedal is easy - 2 bolts and unclip the cable
foot rest just pry up the old one press down the new one
the brake and clutch need alot more faffing, the brake iirc has 4 bolts into the bulkhead/firewall and 1 bolt pointing straight up at the top of the pedal into the dash but before that the pin and r-clip will need removing from the centre of he arm
the clutch is pretty much the same as the brake but with less bolts and in a more awkward position
removing the seat can be helpfull as it allows you to lie down to see up under the dash and also the trim panels under the seering wheel should be removed to gain access to the bolts via a very long socket extention
as i said a lot of faffing but rewarding in the end and abit easier to understand what i said once yu actually get in there
alternativly drill out the rivets

Nice one Neil, I'll look forward to blowing my hangover away by removing my driver's seat and having a little kip in the foot well of my car over the weekend
TypeRiter, see how I get on hehe. Keep an eye on this thread come Sunday night, if there's pictures of scraped knuckles and an unhappy looking foot well then you might well be game on!

Good luck with it scruff, but if it does prove a stumbling block, I'd be interested in having these off you

Yep, you guys were right. What a pain in the arse of a job. Accelerator and brake pedal isn't too much of a bother, but that clutch pedal was put there by Satan himself. Gave up in the end, drilled out the rivets on the DC5 pedal and I've managed to drill one hole but my drill is too big for the top two. Nuts to it.
