All,

Here is a quick caveat about the 818 Wilwood Pedal Box Assembly that is available in the Factory Five Parts Catalog. I ordered this kit from the FFR online Parts Catalog and found it wasn't correct for use with "older" 818 frames. I called FFR Tech Support and we worked out that for "older" frames, a retrofit kit is necessary. By "older" frames, I mean < #120. I have frame #117 and I was told by Tech Support that sometime after mine, they changed the frame so that you could use either the Subaru pedals, as was originally intended, or use the Wilwood pedal box kit from FFR.

If you are considering using the Wilwood Pedal Box kit from FFR and have an "older" frame, be sure to phone in your order and be sure you get the retrofit kit. The retrofit kit is $50 more, but comes with the steel parts you will need to swap out on your "older" frame to make the Wilwood Pedal Box kit work. This will also make your "older" frame look like a "newer" frame as far as the pedal mounts are concerned.

I completed the retrofit Wilwood Pedal Box frame modifications and it worked out fine once the above information was revealed. I just wanted to point this out here in case anyone is considering this option.

Also, the picture in the FFR Parts Catalog for the Wilwood Pedal Box is incorrect for the 818. Here is the picture I am referring to...

The pedal assembly in this picture is a Wilwood reverse mount pedal box which is incorrect for the 818. The reverse mount has the master cylinders pointed toward the driver inside the firewall. The 818 definitely requires the master cylinders outside the firewall. A standard mount Wilwood pedal box is what's needed in the 818. Again, I just wanted to point this out in case there is any confusion.

Please let me know if there are additional questions about this kit.

Thanks,

-Mike
