FFP Customs Pedal Assemblies FAQ

What are the different pedal assemblies FFP offers?

We offer a pedal assembly for those needing clutch, brake and throttle, but also those just needing a clutch and brake pedal assembly as well as a stand alone brake pedal assembly, but that does not apply to a stick car since the clutch pedal relies on the brake pedal assembly for mounting. If you have a stick car you are converting to auto, by adding one of our pedal assemblies, you eliminate the clutch pedal from the equation to free up room under the dash. All assemblies are sold in various configurations.

What is included with an FFP Customs pedal assembly?

Everything that is required to complete the conversion is included in the FFP Customs pedal assembly kit based on the options you select when you place your order. You will be able to remove your factory pedal assembly and simply bolt the FFP pedal assembly in its place using factory mounting points. We include all Grade 8 hardware, all necessary components, and brake lines to connect the master cylinder. With so many brake applications, going from our firewall mount bulkhead to each brake caliper is left up to the end user.

What pedal pad surface options are available with the pedal assemblies?

We offer a pedal pad featuring deep machined grooves that provides a positive feel to the bottom of your foot in a natural or anodized black billet aluminum finish. We also offer this design in different size pedal pads, to help fit your driving needs.

Will an FFP Customs pedal assembly work with a factory clutch cable system?

Our Billet and Sportsman pedal assemblies help convert a clutch cable arrangement to a hydraulic clutch actuation system. So, these pedal assemblies will not allow you to use a clutch cable setup, But our Modifier Pedal Assemblies for the 79-04 Mustang will allow both hydraulic and cable clutch systems.

Are FFP Customs pedal assemblies strictly for race cars?

No, but our pedal assemblies are designed for off-road applications. Adding an FFP Customs pedal assembly eliminates the power booster, eliminating power assist to the brake pedal. With our brake pedal ratio and master cylinder bore size this configuration provides excellent braking results.

Are there provisions for additional accessories?

Yes, we have provisions in our assemblies for Wide Open Throttle switch, clutch ignition cut switch, adjustable toe hook, and multiple options for fluid reservoir mounts,

Does the installation require any custom fabrication or welding?

No, our pedal assemblies are designed to be installed using factory mounting holes. We have done all the design work necessary to make this a simple bolt on and go installation. All components and brackets attach using existing mounting holes. No expertise beyond basic mechanical skills are required. We provide detailed step-by-step installation videos, and are happy provide support by phone, email, and social media if needed. Please follow all instructions provided in the kit from FFP Customs and Wilwood Engineering.

What is the brake pedal ratio?

Keeping it simple, pedal ratio is basically a way to provide mechanical leverage to assist the driver without having to use too much of the driver's physical effort. The more pedal leverage you have the more force that can be applied to the master cylinder with less driver effort.

Who makes the master cylinder included with the kit?

We work with Wilwood and include one of the company’s remote tandem brake and clutch master cylinder kits with every pedal assembly.

Will conventional brake bleeding methods work with the pedal assemblies?

Brake bleeding instructions and hardware is included with the Wilwood master cylinder, but yes, conventional brake bleeding methods are used.

Where are the brake reservoirs mounted with the pedal assemblies?

The brake master cylinder reservoirs can either be mounted in the engine compartment or under the dash using a roll cage mount, or a mixture of both. We offer multiple mounting solution for reservoir tanks. Please check out our category Fluid Reservoir Mounts & Accessories, for all of our options.

Does the factory steering column work with an FFP Customs Billet & Sportsman pedal assembly?

No, the factory steering column does not work with the FFP Customs pedal assembly. There are a variety of steering column solutions that pair well with our pedal assembly. First, we offer a bolt-in, adjustable lightweight steering column. Second, you can build a custom column from a DIY kit. Third, we have seen other aftermarket columns that are compatible with our pedal assembly. Our 79-93 Mustang Modifier Pedal Assembly will allow you to use the factory column.
