Are they road legal, i.e. would I fail my M.O.T. on these ?

ive got a set of sparco pedals on mine (didn't fit them) ive got size 10 feet and can drive it fine , i did used to catch the brake sometimes when i first started driving, only probably is when my trainers are wet i sometimes find that my foot starts sliding off the clutch, but my pedals are completely smooth in all fairness

[Mini 360]

Perfectly legal but nightmare for use on a Mini with the pedals so close together. Will make heel and toe pretty tricky to get right.

[Cooperman]

Not ideal for a Mini IMHO. There is nothing wrong with the standard pedals even for very competitive driving.

[Liam Mini 35]

If i remember correctly there was an eppisode on wheeler dealers that mentioned this. Whey the were doing the intergrale. The pedals ate supposed to be a certain distance apart. 5 cm if i remember correctly.

Do not put those on a mini lol. It will be impossible to drive :)

im a bit confused how people say its difficult to drive with pedal covers? iv found it just fine in my mini, heel and toe n everything.

technicaly NOT legal tho because your suppost to have non-slip coating on the pedals (usualy rubber)... you could put skateboard grip tape on them to get around it though

yes, it was the legality of putting them on that I was querying. There are a few threads with pics entitled "pedals" where TMF'ers have added aftermarket pedal sets.

as long as there is an anti slip device on the pedals, you won't fail the MOT 1/2" or 5" apart.
How practical it will be to drive is down to how you fit them.

[mini93]

can see the ones in mine there, altho most likely be getting changed as there not visualy pleasing! I dont have anti-slip stuff on mine either as the only time i drive it (well never because its been so long!) is in the dry, if its wet, i drive to the conditions

[cliche]

Yes it's the anti slip part that I'm concerned about failing the MOT on to be honest. I'm not sure if the indentations on the pedal count as anti-slip or if they must be rubber

Mini93 - is yours a road car (looks like a racer) ?
