Thumbs up

Holy Jeebus. That was kind of a pain. But I finally got my Rennline pedals installed. Dead pedal was the easiest, followed by the accelerator. Few points:

1) By Alex's original post, I was preparing for the brake to be the most difficult. As far as drilling, it required the most drilling effort seeing as it is the only metal pedal of the 4. But the 'stalk' on the clutch is the thickest and if the drill holes aren't placed high enough, the bolts won't fit (same problem Alex had with the brake pedal).

2) bbywu mentioned somewhere?? that painters tape is a must. Absolutely. Impossible to see where to drill unless you use tape and a Sharpie to mark beforehand.

3) I was not talented or can contort enough to do this by myself. So I had to enlist my wife (thanks, Hon!) to help me align the pedals and fasten the screws while I held the nylon nuts on the back.

Now just have to install the metal floorplates on the driver and passenger side and I'll be done (wifey rang the dinner bell and I ran out of light).
Anyone do these? Instructions say I have to drill a hole into the chassis for the driver's side. Not so excited about that. Anyone know if there's something 'important' behind the top left screw?

No impressions about ease of heel-toe as aside from pulling back into the garage, I haven't driven it yet. Pics and impressions tomorrow. Thanks again, Alex for the most excellent post!

Pedals and floorplates

Got around to installing the floorplates and drove the car a bit today. More contorting and sore knees, but it's done

With floorplate. Ended up not drilling into the chassis for the top left hole. Made me too nervous. Just used a strip of velcro along the top edge and voila!

Driving impressions. Just wow. I thought it would make heel-toe a bit easier (which it most definitely does) and that's about it. Mostly 'bling' for the interior. But I don't know what or why, but clutch feel is infinitely improved! My desire to do the GT2 clutch slave cylinder conversion was based on the fact that the pedal had NO feel/feedback. Maybe it's the removal of those rubber covers and replacing it with metal. No idea, but I like it!

great job Alex and thanks for sharing. Did mine back in April and yes, the brake pedal was the most difficult to install.

Thanks for the excellent write-up. I wasn't planning to do this job myself but after seeing your guide I think (just maybe) I can do THIS!

Cheers.

Thanks.

i love the pedals, nice work, but think the floor plate is too much - an example of less is more (obviously just my opinion).

My 997TT has PCCB. As a result of this thread, I recently installed the Rennline throttle lifter plate, throttle extensions for heel and toe, and gas pedal. This modification is a must with PCCB due to the high brake pedal placement relative to the gas pedal. Amazing results! As far as I'm concerned, replacing the other pedals is optional but the gas pedal is a must. This makes the short shifter even more fun.
