Washburn's Metal "Power Pedal" accelerator pedal assembly — silver version. A heavy-duty replacement for the original factory accelerator pedal on 1958 and later VW Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Type 3. Bolts in as a direct replacement with factory mounting and provides the precise, responsive throttle feel that the old stamped-steel factory pedals have always lacked. Part #CH82.

Why we built the Power Pedal

The factory VW accelerator pedal is a thin, stamped-steel flap with a small contact area and minimal structure. After 50+ years, most original pedals are bent, sticky, or just feel vague — there's significant slop between the pedal and the throttle linkage, and the pedal itself flexes under foot pressure, which translates to inconsistent throttle response.

The Power Pedal replaces the stamped factory pedal with a robust, machined assembly featuring a Delrin roller and a heavier, more rigid pedal face. The result: noticeably crisper throttle feel, no flex, no stickiness, and a pedal that looks factory at a glance but performs far better.

Specifications

  • Finish: Silver (Version 3)
  • Roller: Delrin (low-friction, long-wearing engineering plastic)
  • Construction: Heavy-duty machined assembly
  • Country of origin: Made in USA
  • Part number: #CH82 (Silver version)
  • Manufacturer: Washburn's Metal

Fitment

  • VW Beetle: 1958 onward (cars using the standard floor-pivot accelerator pedal)
  • VW Karmann Ghia: 1958 onward
  • VW Type 3 (Squareback, Fastback, Notchback): 1962–1973
  • Super Beetle: confirm pedal cluster configuration before ordering

Pre-1958 note: Earlier Beetles used a slightly different pedal geometry — confirm your car's pedal mount before ordering for a pre-1958 application.

FAQ

Does it require any modification to my floor pan?
No. The Power Pedal bolts in using the existing factory pivot bracket location. If your factory pedal bracket is intact, the Power Pedal is a direct swap.

What's the difference between the Silver (#CH82) and Black (#CH81) versions?
Finish only. Mechanically identical. Silver is the brighter, more visible option that pairs well with polished or chrome interior trim; Black is the stealth/factory-look option.

Will I notice a difference in driving feel?
Yes, immediately. The Power Pedal eliminates the vagueness and stickiness of the factory pedal. Throttle inputs translate directly to engine response with no slop or flex.

Does the throttle cable hook up the same way?
Yes. The Power Pedal uses the same throttle cable attachment point as the factory pedal. No linkage modification required.

What's the Delrin roller for?
The roller is the contact point between the pedal arm and the floor pan, and it's where most of the wear happens on the factory pedal. Delrin is a low-friction, self-lubricating engineering plastic that won't wear out, doesn't need grease, and won't get sticky in cold weather like worn steel-on-steel pivots do.

Can I use this with my dune buggy or Manx?
If your buggy uses a stock VW pedal cluster (most do, since they're built from a VW pan), yes. Confirm your pedal pivot setup matches the stock VW configuration.

What if my factory bracket is missing or damaged?
We sell the #CH39 accelerator pedal bracket separately — that's the weld-in pivot bracket the pedal hinges from. If your bracket has rusted away, replace both.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.
