Pedal Assemblies
was wondering if many have used wilwood or tilton pedal assemblies in there bugs?
links? I don't even know how much $$$ they really run, but curious if this should be an option of mine. thanks Rip

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

see I was looking somthing more along the lines of this
http://www.wilwood.com/Products/005-...mtmc/index.asp I believe tilton makes one similar. The nice thing here they have it in the smaller ratio, 5.1:1. Plus if you build a small cage inside the car at your feet you can squeeze everything in and not really lose foot room. sort of like this

looks like the biggest problem would be the steering column. I think its in the way. Don't know if theres enough hieght. But if you can fit the normal 6.2?:1 pedal ratio in there the smaller one, plus the master should be too bad.
Anyone? I've been searching through the old mag. but it seems like more people used the CNC styled pedals. and they look a bit smaller. rip
