I got  a  question.

How does the gas Pedal fasten to the floor on the  "heel" end. Mine came
loose and I don't see how it attaches. The heel end  of the pedal has two
holes in it, but I don't see any hardware.

Any  ideas?

Another "Common" Vanagon  problem !  Your gas pedal "was" attached to the
floor with two sheet metal  screws that have rusted away into oblivion.  Now what
you have to do is  first check how badly rusted the floor is where the
connection point was and  repair that.  Then, you can screw the pedal back into
place with STAINLESS  STEEL machine screws using large diameter SS washers both
sides to  distribute the load and nylock SS nuts to keep everything in place for
another  100 years.
