I have Momo Tuning pedals, so far I have left the clutch pedal off because I'm worried that I won't have enough clutch travel with the screws and the plates on the backside. Has anyone had a problem with this or will taking a Dremel to the screws help.

The dremel thing will be a big help. I found I couldn't push the clutch down far enough to start the car after I initially put my pedals on! YIKES!!! Knocking off most of the screw on the back will be a big help.

Maximizd, maybe its the angle of the pic of your pedals but your brake and gas pedals seem to be on the same plane. Did they come even or does the angle the pic was taken make it look that way. I'm just wonderin because my gas pedal is way below my brake, makes it hard to heel toe.

I'll double check, but I am pretty sure the picture shows it the way it is. You may want to check the angle of the gas pedal. It sounds like if you reinstall and move the gas pedal down from its current position, it should bring it in better alignment with the lower break pedal because it will change the angle it is seated on (since the gas pedal is curved).

Let me know how you make out.

You could adjust the clutch pedal and interlock switch too.

I wasn't aware that you could do that. How is that done?

No, sorry, I misread you response, BUT reinstall the gas pedal but move it UP this time. The stock pedal is curved, the new on is flat. Depending on where it is seated on the curved pedal, it will be at a different angle.

If you look underneath the dash you will see that the piston rod is adjustable for length. The starter interlock switch is also the lower stop, the cruise control drop-out switch is the upper stop. All are adjustable so you have quite a bit of range.
