I think the pedals just bolt thru the pan to the floor. You can use a plate that allows some movement of the pedals for different height drivers, but the biggest concern I would have is how much the pedals are moved forward (towards the drivers seat).

The set-up I was looking at is mostly used in sand rails with a hydraulic brake and clutch slave cylinder built in. In a sand rail, the mounting wouldn't be an problem as everything is on the open, but in a Bug (or Ghia) that isn't the easy as you need to get the pedals in the right location to get the accelerator cable thru the tunnel.

This is why I just decided to go with the standard pedal assembly and use the cast aluminum pedal pads that Ken used in his bug.

Just some of my thoughts on the idea, but I would like to hear from someone who actually did it.

Cheers,


Doug

PS: JEG's has Wilwood pedal assemblies for under $200 US
