Now this feels like a daft question.... I'm having trouble fitting rubbers to my pedals - the genuine (but brasil) VW rubbers that I've bought have a lip all the way round, but there is no overhang on the bottom of the pedal to fit the lip to. So, have I got the wrong rubber? Can I cut the bottom lip off and it still remain on the pedal? What are the original ones like for a '66?
thanks

you have the correct pads...to get the new pads on to the metal flat plate is no easy task....can you email me a picture of your pedal...

I understand the problem, and I cut a notch in the bottom inside lip of the pedal cover to make them fit properly.
Honestly, most modern pedal replacements are crap. Especially the Taiwanese type that are plastic instead of rubber, and they are universally too small. I've had luck hunting down genuine VW replacements, but it ain't easy...
