The link in my post 283 says they are for a 986 as well. But I cannot say for sure since I am not the seller and do not own a Boxster.

One addendum to my story. I realized when I was prepping my car for the winter that the screws on my brake pedal were a little loose. Those that did the install as part of the group buy might want to check that they don't have a screw loose.... well, at least that their pedals don't have one. ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I know at the time I did my install I deliberately didn't over tighten, as I wanted to leave wiggle room for expansion and contraction (better that than having something have a stress fracture as the temperature changed), so it wasn't a surprise that I'd have to go back and tighten things up again.

The group buy ended 5 months ago. Send a PM to Dutchie and he can give you the seller's contact info. You may not get the $105.00 Group Buy price, but you never know until you ask.

I saw this old post, which reminded me I have these pedals sitting in my garage for a year now. I give up. I don't think I have the patience to install these. Anyone want a set for the group buy price??

Andy,
Don't be such a puss! Install them, it really is NOT that hard.
The gas & dead pedal take about 3 minutes each to install:
o - align each on the OEM pedal
o - drill two small pilot holes
o - screw the aluminum pedal to the OEM pedal
o - DONE!
The clutch & brake pedals take about 15 minutes each to install. Two screws install in about 3 minutes each:
o - remove OEM rubber pedals
o - use double sided tape or spring clamps to position pedals. Make sure they are even. By design, the clutch pedal sits a little lower than the brake pedal, which is not really noticeable with the OEM rubber pads on them. However, this difference will be more noticeable when you install the aluminum pedals.
o - mark the three holes on each pedal.
o - use a titanium drill bit to drill the holes. Clutch will take about 10 - 15 seconds per hole, brake will take about 45 seconds per hole.
o - Insert small bolt and snug up the nut on the back of the pedal. This is the most "pain in the ****" part, but once you get the nut started, use a screwdriver to turn the bolt and tighten the nut.
o - repeat the step above 5 times
o - DONE!
Andy, I took the time to write this because I hoped I could convince you that it really is NOT that hard. I don't have much time left with my P-car (she goes back to the Lease Company at the end of May) and I am really going to miss the car. I am hoping I can convince you that the result is worth the effort.
