how do those attach?

You drill 3/16" holes in the existing metal pedal base. It comes with stainless hardware and lock nuts to attach them. I really just wanted the gas pedal cover only, but now that I have them the rest of the covers are pretty nice. The clutch and brake covers are larger than stock as well.

I made the gas pedal cover adjustable. I have 2 sets of holes for it if I want the gas pedal even closer when I get to the track. In my mountain road testing it felt pretty good where it is though.

I installed the matching dead pedal

Looks good. How hot does your floor/tunnel get while your on track?

Well guys I had some more fun with wheels today. I got a 17X10.5 to fit all around, so I am going to try these on my next set of tires still running 275s all around. This was a test setup so ill order it all up soon.

It is notably hotter where the see the tar chipped off by the gas pedal. I can hold my hand on the trans tunnel with the tar. Without it it is uncomfortable to hold my hand on it or I cant after a track session. It is not going to blister you or anything, it is just hot.

I have underside of the trans tunnel lined with heat shield from the firewall to the shifter. It made the whole deal live able on track.

Any spacers needed to clear front or rear?  Mine are still sitting in the corner of my dining room...

[largeorangefont]

3mm spacer in rear to give the tire room around the rear trailing arm. 8mm spacer in front. In the pictures there is only 3mm of spacer in the front.

with the 8/3 spacers the tire is in the same position it was with the smaller wheels.

Thanks for the info last week!

I should be pretty close then, thanks.

how hard was it to pull the rear fenders like that?

[largeorangefont]

I used a baseball bat originally to gain 1/4 inch. To get it where it is now Joel came over with his Eastwood fender roller.

That looks great Ash! Its amazing that 275 doesn't look stretched at all on a 10.5

These tires are giant. Time to get a fresh coat of paint on this thing and some aero to see what it will do.

My paint and body hookup is retired, so I am on his schedule. He is going to call me on some random day sad say "Hey, let's shoot that thing!"
