div>
Please note that two (2) holes will be required to be drilled in each of the factory clutch, brake and gas pedals to secure the aluminum racing pedals.
If you are uncomfortable with the mounting procedure outlined below, your local mechanic should be able to install the pedals for you.
Please note that the pedals can be unbolted and the stock factory clutch and brake rubber pedal covers can be re-installed at any time.
You will require the following tools, which can be obtained at any local hardware store:
- #2 Philips screw driver
- Open end-Box wrench 7/16"
- Drill bits 1/8" and 7/32"
- Electric drill
- Automatic center punch
- Pencil
- Degreasing spray
- 2" wide Masking tape

Detailed version of the mounting procedure:
- Remove driver side floor mat
- Remove rubber cover from the factory clutch and brake
pedal.

This is
easily accomplished by reaching around the top side of
the rubber covers, place your fingers under the rear
top lip of the cover, and pulling up and toward the
rear of the car. Once you have the top of the cover
pulled off the clutch/brake pedal sheet metal simply
slide the cover toward the floor to fully remove
it. |
- Clean the front surface of the factory clutch/brake
pedal sheet metal using degreaser and a shop towel or
rag.
- Apply masking tape to the factory clutch/brake pedal
sheet metal as shown in the photo.

The masking
tape will help you see where you have marked the
factory clutch/brake pedal sheet metal with the pencil
to locate the mounting holes for the aluminum racing
pedals. |
- Place the aluminum clutch racing pedal over the factory
clutch pedal sheet metal and center it vertically using your
fingers as a guide along the top and bottom of the aluminum
racing pedal. We recommend locating the left edge of the
aluminum clutch racing pedal so that it is flush with the
left edge of the factory clutch pedal sheet metal. This will
provide maximum clearance between the clutch pedal and the
foot rest.
- While holding the aluminum clutch racing pedal onto the
factory clutch pedal sheet metal with one hand, mark a
circle on the masking tape through the indicated hole with
the pencil.

Note: It is
our experience that the hole indicated will work for
your application, however be sure to confirm that
there is ample space on the backside of the factory
clutch pedal sheet metal for the securing nut using
the indicated mounting hole. If there is a clearance
problem use an adjacent hole of the aluminum clutch
racing pedal.
|
- Remove the aluminum clutch racing pedal and using the
center punch make a dimple in the center of the hole you
made with the pencil on the masking tape.
A center punch
is recommended, but not required, to help locate the drill
bit while drilling the mounting holes for the aluminum
racing pedals. If you are unfamiliar with using a center
punch use the following three-step process:
A. First
place the tip of the center punch in the middle of the
circle you just made by holding the center so you can easily
see the tip.
B. Then straighten the center punch
so that it is perpendicular to the factory clutch pedal
sheet metal while still maintaining contact at the tip of
the center punch in the center of the circle you made with
the pencil on the factory clutch pedal sheet
metal.
C. While supporting the backside of the
factory clutch pedal, press the center punch toward the
factory clutch pedal sheet metal until you hear a "click"
sound This will make a dimple or small recess/crater in the
surface of the factory clutch/brake pedal sheet
metal.
- Drill the top mounting hole in the factory clutch pedal
sheet metal using the dimple created in the above step with
the small drill bit first and then use the larger drill bit
to obtain the proper clearance hole for the mounting
screw.
It is recommended, but not required, to first
drill the hole with a smaller drill bit because it is easier
to locate a small drill bit in the dimple. Support the
factory clutch pedal with your other hand, but be sure not
to place you hand or fingers in line with the hole you are
drilling to avoid accidentally drilling into your hand or
fingers.
- Mount the aluminum racing clutch pedal to the factory
clutch pedal sheet metal using one (1) of the supplied flat
head screws, one (1) nylon insert lock nuts, the hex wrench,
and the box wrench and tighten so that the aluminum clutch
racing pedal is held firmly in place.
- Re-align aluminum racing clutch pedal to the factory
clutch pedal sheet metal using your fingers as a guide
around all sides of the aluminum racing pedal.
- Repeat steps 6-9 and use both mounting screws to finish
installation of the aluminum clutch racing pedal.
- Repeat steps 5-11 to install the aluminum brake racing
pedal. We recommend locating the right edge of the aluminum
brake racing pedal so that it is flush with the right edge
of the factory brake pedal sheet metal. This will provide
maximum clearance between the brake pedal and the gas
pedal.
- Repeat steps 3-9 to install the
aluminum gas racing pedal with the following
modifications.
Ferrari specific:
There is no rubber cover for the factory gas pedal. Be
sure to allow clearance (~1/8") between the bottom of
the aluminum gas racing pedal and the top of the plastic
trim that surrounds the base of the factory gas pedal.
A 30mm long flat head screw is supplied for the lower
348/355 gas pedal mounting hole.
Metal gas pedals:
First mark with the pencil, center-punch,
and drill the top mounting hole in the factory gas pedal
sheet metal, then mount the top of the aluminum gas pedal
using one (1) of the 14mm long flat head screws, one (1)
nylon insert lock nuts, the hex wrench, and the box wrench
and tighten so that the aluminum gas racing pedal is held
firmly in place, re-check alignment of the side of the
aluminum gas racing pedal with the side of the factory gas
sheet metal pedal, then mark with the pencil, center-punch,
drill the bottom mounting hole in the factory gas pedal
sheet metal, and mount the bottom of the aluminum gas pedal
using one (1) of the 14mm long flat head screws, one (1)
flat washer, and one (1) nylon insert lock nuts.
Plastic gas pedals and footrests:
First mark with the pencil, center-punch, and
drill the top mounting hole in the factory plastic gas pedal
using the 1/8" drill bit only, then mount the top of the
aluminum gas pedal using one (1) of the self tapping flat
head screws, re-check alignment of the side of the aluminum
gas racing pedal with the side of the factory plastic gas
pedal, then mark with the pencil, center-punch, drill the
bottom mounting hole in the factory plastic gas pedal using
the 1/8" drill bit only, and mount the bottom of the
aluminum gas pedal using one (1) of the self tapping flat
head screws.
348/355 Passenger Footrest:
Remove existing passenger side rubber by pulling it away.
Underneath you will see a black metal door/panel. Remove
this panel from car by turning each of the top two screws
counter clockwise 1/4 turn, then remove the bottom two screws
completely, the panel can now be removed from the car. Mark
and drill four (4) mounting holes using a 1/8" drill bit
( we recommend using one hole in each corner of the Aluminum
Passenger Footrest, be sure that you will not drill into
any electronics or wiring). Re-install the metal panel into
the footwell. Place the aluminum footrest over the metal
panel and screw in the four (4) mounting screws previously
drilled.
Congratulations you have
finished installing your aluminum racing pedals!
