      Brake & Clutch assemblies

      Currently im having this project https://www.pro-touring.com/showthre...nvetible/page2 build by Heartland Customs..


      I need some help... who has experience with aftermarket Paddle Kits and can help me to find the best solution for my car..??

      What improvements are possible to choose for example for a setup from Willwood instead of modifying the originals... ? Does anyone has experience in here?

      Besides the skills, the looks are important for me as well.. but most important is that everything has to be order to get this car to be an ultimate driving machine....

      If its important.. the car will get a PFGM-17008 Tremec Magnum Extreme 6 speed Trans. Billet Flywheel, Alum. Bellhousing, Ceramic Clutch Kit, Hydraulic clutch kit.

      Please let me know...

      thx dennis

      It is hard to beat the ergonomics of most stock pedal designs. The problem with most of the overhung units like the Wilwood pedals is the brake pedal position in relation to the centerline of the steering wheel. I had a thread going with similar questions including balancebar setup also (https://www.pro-touring.com/showthre...467-Pedal-Talk). There are some very good looking pedal assemblies out there, but for a '73 Vette, I would go with something like the Tilton floor mount setup like this http://www.tiltonracing.com/content....list2&id=9&m=b.

      Ummm, clevises or heims and small diameter tubing. They have to be built to your specific length anyway. Didn't you say you were having this work done at a shop?

      Great setup, but it would require heavy mods to the angled toe board. Probably not enough room in the Vette to move the pedals back and mount the master cylinders inside.
