Default Anyone ever used Wilwood pedals?

The floor mounted type that bolts to the floorboard? I've bought a clutch pedal and a dual cylinder brake pedal with balance bar....I would like to mount them inside the footwell on top of the floorboard....but the only thing that bothers me is having the master cylinders in there too. That means the remote lines would have to come through the footbox somehow....Any ideas? My initial idea was to build a pedal box, and mount it under the car...but Shell Valley's are a little difficult in this area...there are frame crossmembers in the way. Plus, to get the pedal box deep enough to give room for the master cylinder, the pedal arm itself would be way too short. Bottom line....those master cylinders are pains in the hindend.


If I mount the pedals inside the footbox, the pedal arms are a little long...but that's fine because I was wanting to use the AC pedal pads....I could just cut these off and weld the new ones on.


If anyone has any violent brainstorms, please send them my way.
