Wilwood is saying 1" diam. for front and rear for the master cylinders and then the balance bar in the pedal assembly for tuning. I will probably not go 6 piston, as they are almost twice as heavy as the Dynalite 4 pot. If the Dynalites on the rear have 1 3/8" pistons, I'll be using 1 5/8 pistons on the front, but I have to reasearch as to what I actually have in the rear right now, they came as part of a kit I ordered and I don't know exactly what they are.

I resently did a wilwood triple firewall setup seen here










2nd gen Rx7 4 pots up front
single piston ford tarus sliders in the back

using 3/4 front mc
and 7/8 rear mc

also using 7/8 clutch mc

people say to use a 3/4 clutch mc but it was still a bit of movment I like the 7/8" better

oh and btw the last pic was without the pedals adjusted.

what throttle set up is used in the picture? is that something purchased or your was it custom fab? or is it just a modified stock pedal set?

volkdent what throttle pedal do u intend to use?

also anyone ever messed around with the floor mount wilwood pedals i looked at a few in a pro truck over the weekend and it seems possible.

The floor mount is possible, but I think it will require a false floor and moving the seat back quite a bit.

I'm having a custom pedal built that bolts in to the stock pedal assembly holes as well as the stock MC holes for support. I'm not getting to far with the guy I've been working with, so I may just draw it on AutoCAD and have someone mill it out for me.

The pedal in the pic is an aftermarket roller pedal.

hmm ok i was thinking that cause wilwood shows the floor mount pedal at being like 6 inches i looked at some in a pro truck and it didnt look that big but i guess it was

i know what type of pedal it is but what is that assembly that bolts it to the tunnel?

I could be mistaken, but it looks like the stock pedal base.
