This question should be in the garage. It would get more views there, but here is a picture of a cars with it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

They're really cool. When I build a 914 for my son who's a dwarf in a couple more years, I'll use those and move them back towards the seat so that his short little legs can reach the pedals.
Nobody will be able to steal the car with their knees stuck into their chin. |

fagafsbg Hey Thom, Thats a nice pedal fitup, looks like a lotta work and expense. I'm in Crawford planning a 914 subie. Got most of the parts. Gonna be a street car. I like the dual master brake setup with the balance bar and clutch master. Hoping for 18x8 and 18x11 with steel flares. May down size before the real construction starts. 9's are really big enough. At best i'tl never see more than 350 whl hp. Gotta get rid of a lotta junk before I can start the 914. Looking forward to milder weather. Post some pictures as you go. The pedals are really high tech. Charliew |

So how would you do a plantation kit on a 901? Can you even put a slave on a 901?

Can you even put a slave on a 901? I have a 930 so it is a bit different, but I have seen them on a 901. Just gotta make a bracket to bolt it to the trans and then adapt the end of the clutch fork. Trust me, that will be the easiest part of the whole thing, so if that seems hard to figure out, then the pedal assy will be a nightmare (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I didn't find any part of it difficult at all if that is encouraging..... just tedious. |

Now you have me thinking I should give this a try. What did you use for a slave? What was it off of?
Do you have any pictures of your work? |

Now you have me thinking I should give this a try. What did you use for a slave? What was it off of? Do you have any pictures of your work? sorry for the late response... was loading the trailer F and racing yesterday. I had the assembly in the "old" configuration (when it was still a full stock tub) and have a couple pix that show what it looked like but nothing with great detail. I made an aluminum plate to "flatten" the floor (the pedal box area "sinks" down), made some spacers to fit in the sunken area to support the plate and bolted it down. Now the floor was essentially flat. Then I mounted the pedal assembly to my alum plate with the short master cyls right against the firewall. The slave cyl I used was a standard Wilwood brand slave unit and it is still working in the car just fine as of yesterday. Here are my old pics you can see I had rigged up a brake light switch with the original switch just to get the car legal again. Shortly after this pic I added an inline pressure switch to operate the brake lights (you can get them from Summit... IIRC mine is a Painless Wiring brand) The slave - I bent the rod end immediately cuz I have a Kennedy clutch setup for the V8 that is fricken brutal so I simply used an angle-iron steel bracket in place of the setup you see here and it worked perfectly. I machined up a piece of box steel to slip-fit over the old 930 bracket and had it professionally welded |

fagafsbg (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) This is awesome. Great for anyone 5'-6" or so who doesn't like the look of always having your seat halfway up towards the dash. One way to justify the expense-just in case you have to-would be to avoid a pedal set rebuild buy this new setup instead. Hmmmmm. |

I thank you for all the time you've taken already. This could be great for completing my race car. Oh, how is the throttle handled? |
