1. A vehicle operation pedal apparatus including an elongate hollow pedal arm disposed in an up-down direction of a vehicle and provided with a pedal sheet that is disposed at a lower end portion of the hollow pedal arm and that is depressed toward a vehicle front side, the vehicle operation pedal apparatus transmitting a pedal operating force applied to the hollow pedal arm to an output member that is connected to the hollow pedal arm so as to be pivotable relative to the hollow pedal arm,
the hollow pedal arm is being formed of a pair of a front half and a rear half each having a U-shaped section, which are two members split along an up-down longitudinal direction and located respectively on front and rear sides with respect to the vehicle, and the halves being combined with each other so that opening sides face each other to join side end portions located on respective sides in a vehicle-width direction, thereby forming a hollow tubular shape; the vehicle operation pedal apparatus comprising a plate-shaped connection plate having a connecting portion connected to the output member so as to be pivotable relative to the output member and fixed integrally with the hollow pedal arm; in the front half and the rear half, a slit-shaped first through-hole and a slit-shaped second through-hole being formed, respectively; and the connection plate being passed through the hollow pedal arm in a vehicle front-rear direction through the first through-hole and the second through-hole. |
