From Tom Byrne - Details that I have for them is -
These pedals start as 3/4" thick material, then machined in such a way that they will never slip once installed. The brake and clutch pedals completely replace the rubber pads that came with the car. These pedals are contoured on the top surface to give you a natural feel while applying the brake or clutch. In other words, they are not just flat faced pedals, they will have the same feel as the stock pedals. The accelerator pedals do mount over your existing pedal (drilling required) but aid in the "heel - toe operation that you road racers have asked for by bringing the pedal surface up higher .
M6 Cars - Set Includes.... Gas, Brake, Clutch & Deadman's pedal. Gas pedal is fuller and approx 1/2" taller off stock pedal
A4 Cars - substitute larger braked pedal from M6 brake and clutch pedals

I have these on my Hawk, and the quality is excellent, the fit is first class and they really look great. One change I made was to buy shorter set screws so they're completely recessed into the pedals when tightened down...you're very hard pressed to see how they're attached unless you stick a mirror under the pedal.
...the hardest part of the installation was getting the gas pedal off...

I have not asked Tom, I'm sure he'll let it go at least 10 days. We only need 5, we have 2 already.
For those who were at Bragg-Smith, the only mod to the SS's there was a gas pedal of aluminum that was a little oversized to assist in the heel and toe shifting. It really helps.
We came home and drove our cars, it was a big difference.

would love to. I'll ask Tom to ship mine to my brother's office. I'll email him to send yours there as well.

Send 'em cheapest way possible ... I'm not crawling around down there before it gets a whole bunch warmer.
Install list is getting longer: bilstein suspension CAI Shift Lift Pedals & I'm really fighting the urge to get a custom stainless steel exhaust made up to replace the regular steel stuff on for "testing" purposes.

Does anybody that already has these pedals know if they are slippery when wet? I am very interested in getting them (and probably will regardless), but being from Seattle, wet traction is kind of important.
Thanks for any answers!

Thanks Tom, that's great. When will they ship? No hurry, just wondering. Nice article in GM Hi Perfomance )I think that is where I saw it) on the story about your car fire then your building the 98. Isn't the 98 the car you put the supercharger in? They need to be updated!! Ha ha.

That is the recent Super Chevy. I picked up a copy last weekend and noticed that they were a little behind. That info is from the summer of '98. I'm planning on heading to the track this weekend to take the first runs with the A4 trans. I'm shooting for high 10s once everything is dialed in.
We'll probably order a batch of pedals now and another one at the end of the GP. They should start shipping by the end of next week.

Hey Hawkeye, anything special in the mag article? The directions that came with them seemed pretty easy.

Man, you guys are lucky to have yours already! It's going to be a few more days for those of us on the left coast. Just checked UPS and mine just arrived this morning in Cache, IL. They haven't even made it half way yet.
Oh well, the car is in the garage for a while anyway. I guess I'm just a little jealous!
