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.
