Garagistic m6x/s6x v8 e30 kit motor mounts/trans brace / rpm mod / boosterless brakes

[1990m3]

I have the same brake pedal mount although I bought it elsewhere, good piece but a bit of a bitch to squeeze it all up there. Still working on final connections, but the mounted pedals are nice.

Better solution to me than the remote booster option, I'm not into all those star moving parts, I don't see the point of adding more parts to breakdown for a track car.

I ordered a complete kit from you guys and I must say I am VERY impressed with the quality and the affordability.

The communication was great and MAtt @ garagistic was very informative and helped with all my questions. I will do business again and have already referred folks to you.

My next question is do you have instrustions for the transmounts? any pictorials or instructions for the pedal box installation?

Let me know. Thanks again guys!

Glad you like them! We thank you for the kind words and referals. We are watching your vert build with much intrest!

Yes we have a "pictorial" of how the 6 speed tranmission extention brackets should be welded. They are here (we hope to get better pictures soon!):

We will have a pedal box installation within a day or two!

Im interested to see a writeup on the brake setup. Thats the only thing holding me back from the swap. Id rather not hack up my bay so if your pedal box bracket is basically bolt in I would be interested.

Yes it does save alot of work!

It is, That's why I'm using the setup. I wanted my bay clean and as hack fre as possible. Plus I get to keep my ABS in the same spot. Just run two lines the the ABS and you're done.

Thats pretty much all there is two it. Match with correct master cylinders and it will be very manageable. The ABS relocation on our m60 car was not a fun project. Lots of lines extended. Even the harness had to be extended to communicate with the ABS. Lots of clutter.

I can't wait to get them.

Order received!

Hi, interested in purchasing the 6 speed extension brackets separately. They look nice as they are nicely shaped and meant to be welded to the bracket vs. bolted.

Question though - what sort of stress testing have you done with the kit, specifically with the extension brackets. Is there any chance of the extension pieces digging into the body of the car? This would be going on to my track car so safety is paramount.

FYI I have your odometer gears and they have been perfect.

Yes they are a very nice pieces. The brackets were cad designed/tested as well as tested in the real world.

Our very own m60 test mule "lela" has been running this bracket for quite some time. We have logged thousands of street miles, a few autocross events, a couple of road course track days, and even took the car on a 5 mile dirt road in the area of 80mph! Even with all that abuse. The bracket did not dig into the body at all and has not shown any sign of wear what so ever.

They can be bought here:

How can I purchase the pedal bracket?

I was going to say, because both tilton and wilwood clearly say that the 4 main bolts for the pedal box need to be fixed to something rigid and fully supported as these bolts and whatever they are bolted to take the brunt of the force transmitted by the driver.

Do you drill through the firewall and mount the other bolts that way? Did you do anything for the throttle itself as far as mounting it goes? im just about to finish mine over the weekend, actually mounting it in place with bearings on the shaft instead of the sleeves it used from the factory.

[garagistic]

am I right in that you have essentially boxed the pedal box and only used the two upper bolts in the sheet metal above the steering wheel on the firewall to mount the whole thing?

So, basically, the pedal box mounts to the bracket, then you bolt the bracket to the actual car with just the two bolts? I hope that isn't the case?

No, this is not the case.

There are 6 bolts that hold the bracket to the body. There are 3 that bolt up in the factory location. There are then another 3 that hold the bracket from the back. These holes need to be drilled. We then supply hardware that fits into these holes, as well as an upper reinforcement plate which can then be used as is, or welded in place.

There are then another 8 bolts that hold the actual pedal assembly to the bracket. Hardware is also supplied for this as well.

We also supply a provision bracket for the brake light switch and location for throttle spring to be relocated to.

We will start another thread soon regarding these brackets as well as more pictures.
