    If you look closely at the worn off paint at the top of the pedal pads you can see why it was so uncomfortable after driving for a while.

    I did install the AC pedals so that they pivot but I think if you didn't want to do that amount of work you could cut the nubs off the back of the AC pedals and bolt them through the Wilwood pads.

    The AC pedals I got had to be drilled then I had to cut the slot in them. The Wilwood pads had to be delicately cut off to leave as much material as they has to be shaped to fit the AC pads. So I cut them from the front down each side of pedal. This gave me at least another 1/4" of material.
    A days worth of work.
    There could be other ways of doing this that are better but I just dove into it and made it up as I went. Sorry but i don't have step by step pics as i did the pads in 2018 right before the rod bearing went out

    Cool! Do you have any pics of the pedal pad change over? That would be helpful, even without the step-by-step...
