Any of you that have owned air cooled VW's know what I am talking about. I have always liked the roller pedal, so I decided to make one for my XB. I took a 2.8 blower pully for a mustang cobra, made a small bracket, and with a little welding and a little paint....we got roller.

Heres a pic of my roller pedal in my \X/.They are really great,you just kind of park your heal on the floor and the pedal rolls with to motion of your upper foot.http://pic3.picturetrail.com/VOL22/556549/2223248/73277584.jpg

Very nice. Long ago in a car, far, far away I had a roller.

I hadn't even thought of doing that to the Box... I have a '68 Type1 with the roller. For those that don't understand why, it's hard to get unless you've driven one.

Wow I never knew such a thing existed. There's no problems with your foot slipping off?

I still have my first \x/, a '72 Squareback :wink:
Gotta love the roller pedals! Nice custom job with the xB version.

maybe unstead of modding your pedal, you could wear rollerskates... lol

Looks unsafe at first glance...then it starts to look like it might be comfy on those long trips, without cruise control.

That is weird I am a huge aircooled VW fan. I can't even count how many my friedns and family have had, and I never have once seen the roller pedal. Maybe too many type IVs?
