someone help with installing new pedals please

[tigerboy0213]

im trying to figure out how to install these pedals, and what the silver brackets are for. i assume you drill and screw them on? and theres bolts for the brake it looks like.. if someone has a link to a DIY or helpful advice it would be very nice

1. The 8 small screws are for the dead pedal and throttle. Use a screw driver.

2. The long screws along with the nuts and brackets are for the brake pedal. Put the long screw through the 4 holes above the brake pedal. Insert bracket with the L facing you. Hook this over your existing brake pedal. Thread the nut and tighten.

Note: This is by no means the official installation method. It is the one I find most logical, though. My main concern is the brake pedal, the hook and clamp does not seem like a very sturdy way to mount the faceplate. If I were you, I would tighten the bolt securely and give each nut a drop of locktite.

Note #2: I hope this is a replica product, b/c I'd be mad if this was an official mugen product. I'd stick with the strutking pedal set, a bit pricey but well worth the near OEM like quality.

it said it was "genuine" mugen, and came in packaging that said mugen, but it also came from tailand via ebay, so that in itself sounds not genuine to me, i just wanted metal pedals.

i used stainless steel hardware to mount the strutking pedal set to my mt lx sedan, the pedal kit was nice but the stock hardware sucked.

im returning this set, the dead pedal doesnt fit at all, its hanging off about 2 inches and about 2 inches too short as well, the brake clips are crap, didnt even bother trying to install. gonna get the strutking set everyone keeps talking about

i would still rivet them. strutking ones that is.

^^ I'm sure the strut king set uses self tapping screws. Of course rivets would be more secure but if you don't already own one, it may not be worth it to buy a rivet tool when the screws will hold up just fine. A cheaper alternative to rivets is a dab of mild locktite and the supplied screws.

the problem with the stock screws is they are a cheap painted steel screw and they began to rust within 3 days of installation, so i went to my local hardware store and bought stainless steel hardware. well worth the extra money

just saying its kinda stupid to have stainless pedals with cheap steel screws, either rivet them or get new hardware.

[Apexracing]

the pedals or the hardware? pedals off of ebay stainless hardware from my local ace
