Maybe this is another one ofthose 175k failures that eventually happens to
us, but I've never seen a post on this list about the cheapo plastic flap
tearing where the throttle pedal attaches to the floor.  Couple of questions:
1. Are those wide flange rivets holding the pedal to the floor? Can a
regular bolts replace them?
2.  The VW parts guru says that there's a throttle pedal "reinforcer" in
addition to the replacement pedal.  Anybody installed on of these?  Does it
help?

Will report on the Dynamatting of the front end of the Vanagon in a while.

  Thanks in advance
