Brake pedal moving side to side
I’m in the process of installing the Wilwood pedal box in my Mk4. I’ve installed the brake m/c’s and set the brake pedal so it’s not touching the 3/4 tube. Pedal movement is good and springs back well, although I’ve not bled the m/c’s yet. To my surprise, the pedal moves side to side. Not much but not what I was expecting. The pivot bolts are tight. Is this normal? Am I missing something?

A little bit of movement isn't necessarily a problem. My guess is it's probably OK. But can you be more specific about the actual amount of movement?

Here’s a video. Since the clutch pedal is not connected to anything, I expect it will firm up when connected to the m/c. My concern is mainly the brake pedal.

Apparently I uploaded the video as a YouTube short, so don’t get stuck in eternity scrolling…

Looks just like the pedal in my Coupe. Been on the road for four years without any issue. IMO you're OK.
