It also helps to use a small level to make sure the pedals are as straight as possible. I used the level on my Miata and the pedals are not off-kilter; I didn't on the 993 and they're a bit askew. Good thing I don't spend too much time with my head in the footwell or it might bug me.

Ditto with Mark. First you have to make sure that there's room in the back for the nuts where you 're going to position the bolts. I wouldn't use self tapping screws, those will eventually either loosen their way out or strip. Second, ENSURE THAT THEY ARE STRAIGHT. Porsche's spacing of the pedals is well thought off(not for giant feet though
) so temporarily hold them in place and mark your where you're going to drill and check and double check for both lateral and up/down positions to ensure they are level with each other and staright. Good luck!

I noticed an add in the new Pano for Rennline pedals that show you can get throttle pedal adjusters. This might be the way to go for me since I haven't figured out what style is best for me. I attached a photo from the Rennline site. Check it out!
