JP Group OE Clutch & Brake Pedal Pad | VW Beetle, Bus, Ghia & Type 3 | Ribbed Rubber (98-5315-B / JP-8350-0)

OE-Style Clutch & Brake Pedal Pad Cover (98-5315-B / JP-8350-0)

For an air-cooled VW, the small details often provide the most satisfaction. A worn-out, slippery, or missing pedal pad isn't just an eyesore — it's a safety concern. This original-style JP Group cover restores the classic look and the confident grip your feet need for precise clutch and brake modulation.

Manufactured by JP Group to meet factory specifications, this heavy-duty rubber cover features the classic "VW" logo and horizontal ribbing for maximum traction, even in wet conditions. It is molded from a durable, UV-resistant rubber compound that won't crack or become "gummy" over time, and installs as a direct press-fit replacement for the metal pedal plates on almost every major air-cooled Volkswagen model.
