Pedal Rubbers

Sorry to be a PITA, but can anyone tell me if I need a rubber
faced pad fitting to the throttle pedal to get a UK MOT please?
I am assuming that you gotta have them on the clutch and brake
pedals and I have two of those clip on jobbies at hand (prised
off a scrap S3)
But the throttle pedal I'm not sure about.
And I don't have one to fit.
TBH I'm flat out on my rebuild at present and I really don't
have time to download the MOT test manual and read it all right
now.
If it is a requirement I'll get it ordered along with my next
pile of bits from the 'Addocks

Pedal rubbers were optional, there is no requirement for them
for MOT. That's why the brake and clutch pedal are dimpled with
side lips, designed so feet in wellies didn't slip off them.

Cheers
I was under the impression that the construction and use
regulations had changed on this.

No rubbers on mine, never had problems with MOT.
They were worn a bit smooth so I made new pimples on them with
the welder.

Rubber pads are for gayers.

Just found a :gay: throttle pedal amongst a box of rusty S3
bits (rubber pad fitted)
If I don't need it for the MOT then all three of the rubber pads
can stay in the big :gay: spares box
Cheers all :thumbs:

With wet boots my feet tend to slip more on the passats pedals
than they do on the S3s pedals.
Naked is the way forward apparently.
