I've been thinking about the brake master cylinder / booster combo and which way I should go on my LS powered 68 Cougar project . I stumbled across this option , what are your thoughts ?

There are a lot of guys running Wilwood pedals with great success. They are a great product and I've used them for many years in racecars.

You can get the same set up for cheaper here:

I'm assuming you are running an automatic trans since you are only looking at the brake pedal?

If not here is the double pedal setup:

Thanks for the heads up on the cheaper price , it all adds up . Yes , I'm running a 4L65E trans behind the LQ9 6.0 .

those pedals look really small on the double system, seems like anyone with bigger shoe size would be hitting the clutch and brake at the same time... Anybody have experience using the double pedal?

[latoracing]

This is a little ironic as the FedUP guy showed up with this the other day...



The pedal area isn't huge, but is defiantly larger than some econo boxes I have driven. The spacing is wide enough that using the clutch will not get my size 12 1/2's close to the brake pedal. A little fab work, and this ought to be a fairly straight forward upgrade. We'll find out...

I have the double pedal piece mounted in my car but haven't driven it yet. Speedway sells a support plate that makes mounting easier.

I want these style pedals but that will work in stock mouting location.

Do you have a part number for that plate?
Thanks.

Part # 91641025

I made mine from 3/8 aluminum and boxed in my firewall area with 18ga. Made it work in a 68 Mustang

[langleylad]

So is this set up as good as the conventional pairing of booster/master cylinder ? and is this a track only piece or will it live very happily in a Pro-Touring vehicle ?

[Spork82]

When paired with the right set of master cylinders for your brakes it will be as powerful as a boosted system with better feel.

Street or track use. Mine is a street car with wilwood 6 piston and 4 piston brakes.

Your keeping the car auto or thinking of going manual? I think wilwood has a single pedal dual master system.

Automatic , yes they do offer a single pedal/dual master system . There is a link in my first post .

This is looking like the right product for me. I am a little sketchy on if I have room in the engine compartment for it [coyote motors are huge!] so I see they have a interior model. Not sure about when you have to fill the master cylinder, but thats another story.

[bovey]

I'm in need of changing my pedal set-up too. As you can imagine the stock set-up on a early 70s C10 is not exactly a heal-toe kinda thing. The timing of this thread is fantastic.

You should most definitely have the room. You're going to want to mock everything up so you can position the pedals to your liking anyway. You can also use this setup in the link below, which allows you to move the pedal pad right or left which helps if you have to move the whole setup towards the driver's side.

Don't use the reverse mount setup. Those are solely intended for racing and they suck. Even with an access door to get at the Master cylinders, they are a pain to fill up and brake fluid eats paint like crazy when you spill. It would also not be cool if you have carpet in your car.

If you are serious about using these pedals the setup I linked above would be a better option since you can adjust the spacing. Also, these are race pedals and are intended to be used with racing shoes which are thin, so if you you are using this setup on the street or track or wherever it would be a good idea to wear some running shoes or something that has a narrow sole just to be safe. Steel Toe Boots or Basketball shoes aren't as easy with man sized feet.

The real difficulty with these pedals is packaging them with an ordinary steering column. Good car ergonomics puts the brake pedal directly underneath the column.

I wrote about this a while ago:

[Spork82]

Another thing to consider is mounting, Mine are bolted to the firewall and then I made a bracket to bolt the top of the pedal assembly to my steering column mount under the dash. There is no flex at all now, very rigid. There are some members that have done the reverse mount pedals and relocated the bowls to the center of the dash and made a cover over the speaker hole too fill up.

Motor and steering column are already in, just from where I want the gas pedal to the column is not much room. Plenty of room for a brake lever, but on the motor side of the compartment, not a lot of room for a master cylinder. Also, how is there side to side adjustability? the pad can adjust on the pedal?

No carpet in my truck so I am not too worried about getting brake fluid on the floor.

Part # PRP11295W Has aluminum pads that adjust side to side. It works great. The other styles do not adjust and just have grip tape.
