Yes you will have to use a drill and you will need some patience. The way the GT350 brake and clutch pedals are designed is probably not optimal for mounting these pedals but it can be done. Just position the pedals in such a way where you can drill into the small lip/edge of the metal. You will not be able to get four bolts in each pedal. See mine for an idea of what I am talking about.

I just ordered these yesterday, are the ones you ordered the extra wide gas pedal?

Yes

i ended up getting longer bolts for my install. There is one hole drilled through the clutch and brake pedals. You can enlarge this hold and make it work. after mounting to that hole, i simply made sure that the pedals were even, then marked the second hole on the lower flat, dripped and installed the pedal.

then i aligned the gas pedal to where i wanted it, marked, drilled, tapped.

I used the standard medium extention gas pedal. worked out great. I also added the garageline space, which made the setup perfect. heel toe is effortless now. best mod that i've made ( and I'd done a fair amount to my car at this point, with more planned.)

Am I the only one that finds the length of the clutch travel way too long, the last third of the travel is useless. I'm going to have to come up with a pedal stop. From what I have read there is no adjustment for the engagement. My FRS has an adjustment... It's hard to go between the two cars now.

Haven't heard from you in a while BP. I agree totally that the clutch travel is too long. Have you resolved this or done any pedal mods since your last post?

The pedals are a pain to attach, very little lip to drill. You need a 90 degree drill for the brake pedal (at least I did). Its easier to take the gas pedal out.

My prototype for a pedal stop won't work well with the the SRP pedals and how backing nuts attach.

On the track, with the over-sized gas pedal, I found myself depressing the gas pedal too much under hard braking and heel/toe downshifting. This is only when you get the brakes really hot and the pedal a bit more mushy. Around town it never happens. Since you are adding thickness to the gas pedal but not the brake (you remove the stock brake/clutch cover) I think I will space out the brake pedal a bit to compensate.

I like those black pedals above, very cool, but I was worried about wearing out the anodizing.

Installing clutch and brake pedal is a pain, Ford leaves no flat surface to drill and bolt through. Thinking of making some sheet steel plates and tack welding them on to fasten to. Just have gas and dead pedal installed currently.

why? That seems like complete overkill.

There is a hole already in the pedals. If you enlarge it and use a slightly longer countersunk bolt, it functions as the primary attachment point.

If you then mark and drill an additional attachment point on the small flat, the pedals secure just fine.
