Phosphoric acid roughens up the smooth metal and gives the por15 something to "bite" to. If I remember correctly, the pans I'm using are about 22 gauge thick, so not thick enough to support the loads of my foot pressing hard on the brake
They are supposed to be mounted on a structural part of the chassis according to the manual, so I sandwiched the floor pan between 2 sheets of 1/8" thich steel plate to spread the load.

I won't quote the amount of the conversion because of the special requirements I had, but you can contact Jake / Len for a ballpark figure.

How much further apart (distance sideways from clutch to brake pedal) are the Tilton's compared to the original pedals?

You can thank Dave / Herbie53X for the excellent solution to mounting the Tiltons ... I can't take credit for that. I don't have the pedal measurements handy, but the installation manual with dimensions is on the Tilton website.
Effvee, contact Jake at
