Thread: Pedal Assembly for the '66!

Tweet

OK...not sure if this is the right forum for this and moderator, please, if this isn't the right forum please feel free to move it wherever it should be. I need to figure out what kind of pedal assembly I should use for the '66 project I have going on!(ZO66) so here is a picture of each of the candidates. If anyone can offer up a better solution or can tell me why any one of these is NOT a good choice please feel free to post:

Stock:

(Hope it's OK to use your photo Bill!)

Wilwood:

Wilwood doesn't make an accelerator pedal that matches their Brake/Clutch set!

Tilton:
Firewall mounted -

About the same cost as the Wilwood!

Floor Mounted -

600 series -

All steel pedals w/ matching accelerator pedal and more than double the cost of the Wilwood!

900 series -

All Aluminum pedals w/ matching accelerator pedal and about 10 times the cost of the Wilwood!

I'm pretty sure as to which one I'm going to choose but I wanted to run this by the board and get some other opinions!

John,

Go to Alston race cars & check the prostock style pedals that are floor mounted, close together & no BS. Thats what I'm running in my 66. They DO look a bit basic & drag racey but....VERY functionable & not much can go wrong with them.

Are you looking for simple, kewl & functionable??

Although I run a hydraulic clutch set up on 1 of my kustom bikes I built I'm more in favor of a maual system.........why you might ask? I can't get the feathering effect that I'd like. The draulic system is either on or not. Not very forgiving. Kewl no dout - just not as workable if you understand my meaning.
