installing aluminum pedals

I just got a set of fvd brombacher aluminum pedals for my Boxster as I am sure it will make it go much faster...
The problem is the instructions are in German and don't include illustrations. There are screws, for the accelerator (I think), and threaded screws and nuts for the clutch and brake, (I think). I couldn't find anything online on how to install them.

Do I leave the rubber pads on the clutch and brake pedals and drill and bolt through them, or do I remove the rubber and attach directly to the pedal base? Any tips on positioning?

From the company's website:

Das Brombacher pedelen ist nicht fuer gefingerpoken und mittengrabben. Ist easy schappen der shpringenverk, blowenfusen unt poppencorken mit spitzensparken. Ist night fuer gewerken bei die Dummkopfen.
Machen die langenshaftengeschrewendingen an den richtig so wie die schrewenparten die pedelen gefitten. Nein - die anderen weg, dummkopf! Pressen die grosse pedelen an sie fahren sehr schnell - pressen die kleine pedelen an sie halten - als un shpeedbumpf...

Hope this helps! :wink:

Leigh, You don't need to understand German to translate that. The last three words are very clear. Watch out speedbumps :lol: Also the sentence before says press pedal to stop. See it's easy.

Thanks so much Kim!

Gunter did have an alternate translation for me which also proved helpful. Basically, the rubber covers are removed from the clutch and pedal, holes drilled, and the supplied nuts and screws used to secure them. The accelerator pedal is screwed on over the existing pedal.

So, while I might not be any faster, at least I can go slow in style 8)

O.K. Ron, thanks a bunch :roll: . But if you'll notice the time stamp, we were typing our posts at the same time, so I didn't see your helpful post until after my last one! Now I have to go make my car faster...

Looks like 28 hours difference to me. That's what I get for trying to be so helpful.
