You asked for it! I bit of a tease of some details..
Pedal assembly panel before trimming and welding into firewall. The nice thing about the Nissan 240SX clutch pedal is it has an eccentric spring so that the return spring passes over-center about 1" into the pedal travel so that the spring then assists in adding pedal pressure to the MC.
Weighted gas pedal for a bit of a better feel...
Isuzu Trooper 7/8" bore brake MC (pedal feel is
perfect
for the 6piston Wilwoods), mainly because it's simple, light, and is raw cast aluminum w/ plastic reservoir so has the factory look I like.
I wanted to reuse the original instument dash surrounding, mainly because the aftermarket injection-molded pieces are $$ as heck and still look cheap. Also, wanted to add a bit of flair to the treatment of just holeswaing a piece of place sheetmetal.
Wanted to also avoid the standard treatment of red/blue/green simple raised LED's. This light lens thingy is also from a 240SX, just milled a pocket for it and made a light bracket that mounts from behind, like a stock 240 dash.
