Hi. Looking for another dead pedal. Shop doing jbbrjw interior misplaced the one I wanted to install. If you have one let me know if willing to sell. Thx
WTB Alpina dead pedal or reproduction
- Thread starter ccr2002
- Start date
Not Alpina but Kooglewerks has one:
Was there ever an in-period Alpina dead pedal?
I think so, I have one and have seen the pics of it in original alpina cars. I might put the original in my taiga Csl with alpina suspension and 5 speed. Someone made the replicas a while back and I bought one but now it’s missing.
@Keshav - did you make these? Is that your car in the pic?
No. I found that on the internet. I think I have seen a few others and I did not make the replica either.
There are several versions available, but mostly for E30, and none with 18 holes on the diagonal per your photos. Not bad, just not exact.

I'd be interested in an accurate copy of an in period piece if there was such a thing...
There are genuine Alpina dead pedals, and there are period correct genuine Alpina dead pedals. Don’t expect anything fancy from the period.
Mr. Alpina himself…
@paul cain made a bunch of these, I will ask him tonight to check this thread.
Man, look at that dash!
@Markos you aren't wrong... typical pieces from the period are a sheet of aluminum hammered over a block of hardwood, not complex fabrication.
Factory items later on were stamped and drilled. Porsche didn't even bother with that. They added lightness with things like Balsa shift knobs.

Of course, I remember that now. Thx for showing me the correct placement. Now I hope the shop finds it.
Paul says although he made a hundred but they were for the e30 but there were 15 for the e9, he sold the to Guten Parts, maybe they still have some. The were for an e28 but fit e9. He thinks early Alpinas were simple diamond plate.
Thx for the info!!
here's a picture from an original Dutch CSL sales brochure showing a dead pedal. It is different then the one above in the pic by Markos. I think I see two rivets in the floor connection.
Funny thing: look closely at the center gauge, rev counter...

Thanks, I've discovered the "real" in period dead pedals were pretty crude. These factory made ones are nice but ain't accurate....unfortunate because they are available...if you're still looking for something...
