    Correct Wilwood Pedalbox?

    Hi All

    I am trying to work out how to fit my Wilwood pedalbox, at the moment just a trial fit so I can work out where the steering column needs to go. I have been struggling to work out how it should fit and saw some photographs from Kiwi818 that made me think I was trying to fit it with the bracket part upside down.

    Since realising that, I have come to look again and think that I might have the wrong pedalbox entirely. I think I have a reverse mount pedal box. One of these:

    But I am thinking that I should have the much simpler looking swing mount version, like one of these:

    From what I have read, reverse mount means that the master cylinders would be inside the cockpit, not on the other side of the firewall like in the 818.

    Please could someone confirm if my thinking on this correct?

    I have the Wilwood pedal box setup supplied thru FFR. Its like the one shown in your second link. The master cylinders are forward of the pedals.

    Hi Mike, yes it can use the Subaru pedal box if you are building left hand drive, but there is an option to use Wilwood. I am building a RHD version and that uses the Wilwood pedalbox as standard.
