Drilling Rear Brake Pedal Arm
Just wondering if anyone has tried cross drilling their brake pedal arms. I was thinking that it might compromise the strength of the arm too much. I know it would suck to have that thing snap off when you need it most but just thought I would throw it out there.

Nice place for rust to gather unless painted or re-chromed.

It shouldn't hurt the strenth of it but either paint it powder coat or rechrome it and you should be fine, just don't go nuts on it

Yeah, I was planning on having it powdercoated anyways... maybe I'll just give it a shot and see what happens, at least it'll look good!

That part is plenty strong so I wouldn't worry about it.
