Here are the before and after pics from when I installed the after-market pedals earlier this month.

I received my kit ('09 CS2 PDK) and the footrest and accelerator pedals mounted without a hitch. However after I removed the rubber cover off the brake pedal and positioned the new pedal I found that the hole pattern extends almost to the edges of the existing pedal surface with only about 1/4" all around to spare. Not only is this going to be a PITA to drill (I have an auto center punch) it looks like I may be drilling through the crimped edges of the metal and wonder if the the supplied screws are going to be long enough. I checked with Ryan @ SC and he says that this is the correct kit and hasn't received any complaints.

Is this what others have experienced? It seems that the screw hole pattern on the brake pedal should have been reduced by 3/8" or so.

I had the same exact experience.

And you were able to successfully mount the pedal?

I'm heading to the garage with the pedal and drill in hand ........

I installed a different set of pedals (srpracing) but had the same edge issue you mentioned. Still worked ok though. Just not a ton of material outside the edge of those holes. But i think it will hold up since there is very little or no shear or bending load applied with normal pedal use.

Thanks for the info, mine are ordered and should be here next week. I'll keep this thread in mind when ready to install.

Yes, I was able to mount them and think they look good.

They sure do look good, don't they?

As I have the PDK/Tip set is the space/edge issue for the brake pedal more problematic than with the manual pedals?

And perhaps the tight edge tolerance is intended to define a specific pedal placement establishing a set distance from the accelerator?

Or merely poor design.

Thanks

Well I installed the brake pedal in about an hour. The positioning of the pedal took most of the time. The pedal edge issue is aggravated by the mounting surface being angled and trapezoidal. I used a small line level to level the pedal. Consider if you really want to center the pedal using the "PORSCHE" engraving against the pedal stalk or centering it on the mounting pad. I moved mine slightly to the left and I now wonder if I should have moved it a little bit more as my foot tends to strike the pedal edge when braking (and I have small feet) but then you'll encounter the mounting edge issue. I presume I'll adapt to it.

One thing - with the edge issue I ended up clamping the pedal in place with a couple of tiny c-clamps in order to use my center punch. But as the drill points were so close to the edge I decided to leave the pedal in place using it as a drill guide. It worked fine with my Dewalt high speed angle drill and metal bit.

With the c-clamps in place I then inserted the screws and held onto the captive nuts with a tiny vice grip. And be careful of the dinky torx screw heads stripping out. I dread thinking about removing the pedal as I probably stripped a couple of 'em. I may replace them when I have some time.

In addition to reducing the screw hole pattern they could definitely use some beefier brake pedal screws. But at $99 you get what you pay for.

Quote: Gloves,

They are not OEM parts, we get them from a supplier here in town. The quality however is great. I would put them on my car and not think twice about it. We have them on our track Cayman S and have held up fine to getting roughed up almost every weekend.

Let me know if there is anything else we can help you guys out with.
Do they fit a 991?

My only complaint with the set is that the brakae pedal does not have a robber extension preventing the foot to get snagged behind the pedal. If you guys notice the oem has a rubber extension so our foot is prevented from getting snagsged with the brake pedal. Lets hope the suppliers will chime in this and make a new design for the brake pedal
