Need advice: brakes on CMC/StreetBeasts

[holt8137]

I recently acquired a '66 CMC/StreetBeasts Cobra. Had it for about 2 weeks, and then the Wilwood brake/clutch pedal assembly broke. I was eventually able to repair everything, and it is now back in working order. I'm not going into detail on how the assembly broke, because I don't think it pertains to my concerns below.

However, I have one really big concern. The whole brake/clutch/pedal assembly is bolted to the fiberglass body. Essentially, the fiberglass body is sandwiched between the master cylinders (in the engine compartment) and the pedal assembly (in the foot well, obviously).

Now, my concern is as follows: The Willwood installation instructions specifically states that the pedal assembly should be mounted/bolted to a rigid structure that is part of the frame of the vehicle. This is not the case with my vehicle. Whenever I press the brakes or clutch, I can literally hear the fiberglass flexing and deflecting.

It's a little scary when you are riding in a 500+ hp machine and you believe your brakes have the potential to fail.

Does anyone here believe the way the master cylinders and pedals are mounted is bad? Or am I just over reacting?

Is there anyone around here that owns a CMC/StreetBeasts kit? If so, I am extremely interested in hearing how your brake/clutch/pedal systems are mounted to the car.

( I am well aware of CMC/StreetBeasts past. Had I been more educated before I purchased the car, I wouldn't have bought it. Hindsight is 20/20. Please, lets not turn this thread into a CMC/Streetbeasts flame fest. I will be greatful if we can stick to contructive feedback and/or help.)
