Pedal date Bingo

No fair Chloe, you can mix and match till you find a set!!

The way it's looking, I'll be lucky to find any clutch pedals with numbers, let alone any that match. But if I do, I *promise* not to switch them :cheeky:

I wonder what the numbers are on Alan's clutch pedal? Hmmm....

Nice, both of my clutch pedal assemblies are out of my two cars in the garage. I'll be checking them tonight

If we play more Bingo games using other mechanical parts, it may serve as incentive for me to strip mine down a bit faster...

Great, now I'm being branded a scam artist:finger:

Just for the record, here's my other pedal:

Some interesting results coming out from the left hookers!

Wonder if only RHD models had the clutch stamped, which begs the question, if they did then did Nissan manufacture a different clutch for Rh & LH drives?

I'll have a look [with a mirror of course] later in the afternoon!

Interesting, Alan. I don't have a matching pair. My clutch pedal has no stamp at all. Now instead of numbers on my brake pedal, I have letters. I didn't stand on my head - the pedal cluster is out of the car.

I think you have found a different pedal for RHD cars? My brake pedal arm is straight bar stock and my clutch pedal arm is thinner stock and bent to a cup shape.

Play on! I don't have a match. yet.

Ok Alan you've got me interested. Did you know that none of us were going to have date stamps on our clutch pedals?

My brake pedal has 5Z05 plus two extra numbers a bit closer to the bottom of the pedal which are 87.

My old auto brake pedal also has six numbers.

I don't love pedals enough to get down there to look for numbers. I'm no pedalphile. Victor.:sick:

Bugger, I have the blank clutch pedal too, I guess that puts me in a good position to stamp up a fake . I wonder if anyone would take matching numbers that far. So why is the clutch pedal on all Aus cars Blank?

Just for the record part 2:

I'm seriously offended at some of the comments that have been made on this thread.

A couple of people that have made them are people that I thought better of, too.

My original intention was to create a thread that gathered a bit of data on pedal stampings. I've been looking at pedal stampings for some time ( along with other 'dated' and identified items on these cars ) as I've always been fascinated by the array of outsourced component manufacturing companies, and the divisions within Nissan that produced the parts that were put together to make the cars. The stampings on the pedals are not very easy to decipher and it has fascinated me for some time as to what they actually signified.

Maybe that's a bit too dry a discussion on its own, so I tried to create a thread with a little 'bait' in the form of a prize. I will still honour this promise IF anybody actually has identical stampings on BOTH pedals in their car. In hindsight ( after being accused of being a scammer and other sideways remarks ) maybe I should have just asked the question and not tried to 'motivate' people by offering them anything as an incentive except interest itself.

I'm seriously pissed off to be accused of creating a "scam". I'm not very much enlightened about pedal stampings but I AM a bit more enlightened about some of the members of this site now.

Hi Alan,

Honestly I meant no harm at all by my comment. I was getting a kick out of the previous posts and posted that all in good fun. Hopefully the other members posted their comments in the same spirit.

Michael - thanks very much indeed for that. Its much appreciated.

However, it was not your posts that upset me - it was a few of the others.

If they were posted in fun then the sentiment went right over MY head.

All I'm getting is bad vibes and I'm not liking it.

I'm wondering what people expect to get for nothing.......
