Just got mine in the mail and was gonna start installing, then realized I need to go pick up a T15 torx. Quick question though... If anybody has installed these already, what size drill bit did you use cause the screws look like a 3mm. 5/32 or 1/8? (will post pics later)

The screws have nuts, correct?
Just take a screw with you to Lowes.

Yeah I did, no metric. 5/32 is 3.97mm and 1/8 is 3.18mm. Just wondering what others used

just wondering, where did you buy them from?

Johal - got it from Tischer, I've only seen like a $5 difference on other sites and I was already ordering some stuff so I just added it on (Pedals and Footrest)
Ok so I ended up trying all the sizes starting at 1/8 to see what I could get away with, but you need to use 5/32 to have enough wiggle room when putting them through. The brake pedal is metal with a plastic cover that you just take off. Be real careful when drilling through it cause there's really no room for error. I kinda made a slight mistake and mine is a little off level but I'll deal with buying and installing a new pedal at some point in the future. I also had a problem putting one of the screws into the top corner of the footrest and I'll deal with that tomorrow, I'm just happy to be done with it.

Looks great. How did you like negotiating the lower, right nut on the back side of the gas pedal?

All I gotta say is be real careful when you're doing the brake pedal since it's metal, you don't want it slightly askew like mineOriginally Posted by webster
