OK...OK I know I am probably the last person to do the pedals, but I took my time and finished them today. No new insight on the process, but I did use different hardware, I think (I did not use any of the hardware included in the set):

I did use all Stainless Steel.

Oh, tools I used were:

electric drill (regular and right angle)
good quality drill bits
short philips screwdriver #2
normal length philips screwdriver #2
level
ruler
center punch (very beneficial)
masking tape
pen
'C' clamp
5/16" wrench (open and boxed ends)
5/16" socket on a 1/4" drive ratchet

I also used a small drill bit to give me a pilot hole before drilling any of the final holes.

Dead Pedal and Gas Pedal I used #6 1" although I did have to use a #8 1" for the top of the dead pedal as the #6 was not big enough.

For the clutch and brake I used:

6 Flat Philips Machine Screws (6/32x3/4")
6 #6 Flat Washers
6 Nylon Insert Locknut

I preferred the locknut system over nuts and lock washers, but both achieve the necessary results, although I feel more comfortable that the lock nuts will not loosen where the regular nuts may.

Woops I lied, I did do the process a little different, I actually installed the brake pedal completely before the clutch, I lined it up with the gas pedal, then I did the clutch pedal, found that worked with lining it all up. And yes the brake pedal was a pain in the ****.

So here's a picture of the end result:

Question

No, you are not the last one. I almost finished today. I just have to get an angle drill tomorrow. Everything else except 2 upper ones in brake pedal are done (tiptronic).
I did hit a big boo-boo other wise today though:

Uh, that wouodn't happen to be Phil would it?? If so, then I am sure there is no hurry, since he won't be driving the car for another month or two.

Nah, he's not a Rennlister, but he bought into our group buy. He's busy sorting out the Avandia mess for GSK and has no time for a life for the next 10 years.

Actually, I didn't think it was Phil, 'cuz otherwise you would have named him. I just couldn't resist the opportunity to throw a little zinger at him!

BTW - I am close to giving up on Phil. If all of my chiding and harassing the last 6 months won't induce him to drive the car, I am beginning to believe that his may be a "lost cause."

Maybe we need to enroll him in PNDA, Porsche Non-Drivers Anonymous!

Yeah, we've not had much of a chance to give Phil a hard time recently. He's lying low hiding from us.

Can someone out there give me an opinion regarding the pros and cons of this pedal set in relation to the Rennline product? I am in the market and checking them all out.

I don't think the pedals will work for your car, as in you need to have pedals made out of titanium, platinum or carbon fiber to power your 844hp beast

Go back a few pages to see where the ebay information is at. Here is a link to another set similar (just missing the Porsche letters):

(I have no affiliation with this seller)

Got an email from another rennlister last week who wanted to get in on the group buy... a bit late, but he contacted ebay seller and bought the pedals. Not sure what price he got though.

Cool Will they fit a Boxster S

I have a friend with a 2001 Boxster S (M/T). Would these possible fit his car. I've looked on ebay for a 986 set & never seem to come across any.
