I know a company used to make them but you still had to do a fair amount of cutting and welding.

Frankly, it's almost easier to just make your own out of plate metal. I made out out of 1/8" plate into a box and welded it to the floor.

Let me see if I can find a pic.

Found it.

Simple box with nuts welded on the back side. One side is open to have access to the nuts if they need to come out.

Call Ironworks Phillip. I believe Rodger's bracket is made for it? Also, I was thinkin' (dangerous, I know)...John Parson's Fab Bosses might work for that. GL Bro...

My bracket does not fit that pedal. There are to many variables to try and get the pedal in an optimum position. There are some many variables that affect pedal position that vary from car to car. Amount of insulation, Pedal options, shoe size, steering column firewall mount, Etc.

I have been working on an all in one design, but have not come up with a total package that fits everything. Our bracket is designed to be a good base line that you can cut and do what you need for your exact application. Just a good base line.

I have been meaning to come back and add some info to the fire on the specs of our drive by wire pedal bracket.

There are alot of issues that make this bracket very tough to make it fit every car perfect. The first one being shoe size of the driver or owner of the car. I guarantee I would want my pedal higher the say my wife. The 2nd being the amount of insulation and carpet on the floor. The third being the method you use to mount the column to the firewall. In the cars we build I try to ditch the stock column mount because they are ugly. I designed these bracket to where an guy could easily cut and weld these bracket to fit in there car to their exact position they want. Plus they can be installed easily in a car that is all ready painted. You don't have to weld them to the car. You can weld on the bracket outside of the car and not affect your pretty painted firewall.

I have sold alot of these brackets to guys who are doing an LS conversion on a completed car or they did not think about mounting this pedal in their car before the car was painted.
