    wilwood 2 pedal firewall attach (340-11295)
    And
    wilwood remote brake bias adjuster (340-4990)
    Is what I used. You can also source form FFR.

    If it's the same as the GTM there's a set on the other forum for sale.

    Wilwoods are nice, but not needed. I'm running the stock pedals on mine without any issues while racing.
    Thanks- Chad

    For me the Wilwood or Tilton pedal assembly offer a few advantages:
    Lighter, when using aftermarket calipers fine tune the master size and brake bias adjustment with the balance bar.
    Just my opinion.

    We are using over hung, reverse mount, not fire wall mount as the tube frame is stronger than the firewall. It's also easy to adjust and plumb the balance bar. IMG_0535.JPG

    Way lighter, but some welding required. undo the lines, pull 4 bolts and the complete assemble comes out the top, which is great for changing master sizes.

    I am using the Tilton floor mount TIL-72-604 with TIL 72-750 and 812 cylinders. A note of caution though. It is very tight for a 5-10 foot person without a lot of work. My install is very custom. For a standard front suspension you would be several inches father back.

    I ordered this OBP reverse master cylinder pedal set last week.

    I like the feel of floor mounted pedals. With the pivot near your heel there isn't as much sliding between your foot and the pedal.
    The front cylinder setup solves the MC clearance issue. A heel plate covers the MCs and lines.

    Scargo,
    Your LCAs are looking good. Have you figured out the pick up points for the UCA yet?

    It is, in essence, where they are in this post. To have the mounting plate (which accepts adjustable slugs) square it is perhaps a quarter inch proud of the frame in the front and recessed into the frame in the rear. I believe I can share the geometry I created in http://www.vsusp.com/ if anyone wants it. I am using a few of the FFR provided upper arm pieces but have gone to a Howe racing ball-joint.
    Again, if I've left out something that someone is interested in let me know. I hope to resume work on it in a week. Currently I am trying to get my STi track car out of the garage. Tranny work has held me up.

    Thanks for the info. When are you going to get it on track? Still planning to make it to the 25 Hour this year?

    We are testing next weekend at Portland, then a sept 13th for an 8hr test at the Ridge. We are still planning to do the 8 hr Portland enduro as a test for the 25hr this year.
