I'm not sure what section to post this under, so hopefully someone sees it here. The first mention I see in the manual of the "OEM pedal box front plate" is in the first steps of assembly. I apparently did not save that piece from my donor. Any advise? Anyone do a non donor build and have an answer? Short of finding one in a scrap yard.

Did you save the pedal box? I think the front plate refers to the front of the pedal box or the plate welded to the chassis. Not s separate piece.

Mike,
I saved the pedal assembly, but apparently not the entire box.

I don't believe there is anything related to the pedal box besides the whole assembly the pedals are a part of. Are you sure that's not referencing the aluminum firewall piece provided by FFR?

Edit: I believe you're referring to the piece that the FFR has you bolt on for the brake booster mount. It comes with the kit and must be painted/coated as desired. See image attached.

I had the same panic and confusion...

the plate is not OEM part... it is a plate for the OEM pedal box. The manual shows the cad image of the plate (I'd try and snap an image, but I have my 9-day old little girl in hand).

LSfourwheeler nailed it; the part circled is what your looking for:

Thank you guys, this was my first of surely many knucklehead moves. I found the piece you guys were talking about and all is good again in my universe.
