It was really a fun project, I wish I could spend more days doing that kind of stuff.
To add some more details.
The pivot rod that all the pedals swing from has a bolt on each end!
Yes that is correct, each end! So you need to be a contortionist to get the one on the fender side. You will also need to put a pair of vise grips on the shaft under the dash to keep it from turning.
I fabbed up a stainless “L” bracket that bolts to the top of the foot box to retain the rod when I put it back together. Just so I would never have to mess with that freakin bolt again!!
I had to machine a new pedal clevis and a mounting plate on the dash for the Wilwood balance bar assembly and adjusting knob (Blue)
Also, anyone who thinks about this type of mod should keep in mind that the foot box is made of relatively thin fiberglass. As you increase the pedal ratio, you increase the load and fatigue placed on the mounting area. I made the mounting face of my bracket bigger and added two extra bolts. When I build the next one it will be even bigger to distribute the load better.
I have all of the part #s for the Wilwood pieces I used, and I am a Wilwood dealer, so if anybody is interested in any or all of it, I’d be glad to help.
