Clutch Bracket/Pedal Differences USDM/RHD
Hey guys,
As we all know, there is always a shortage of (USDM) clutch/break pedal assemblies for us Automatic folk looking to switch over.
My question is... Is it possible to convert the RHD pedals? Is the difference in the bracket itself or the pedal portion, how about the sensors and the various plugs coming off of it?
There are plenty of RHD pedal sets for decent prices, but I am not sure what it would take to get them going/put them into use.
If possible, please provide pictures of the pedal set.
I'd like to get some of these converted for near nothing, and then pass the savings on to members and what not...

Bump for info maybe? I searched a little bit, but didn't find anything really helpful... Just one member saying "don't do it" and another "it works, just needs some mods"

Not true, I have JDM RHD pedals in my LHD right now. The brake brackets are different but you can swap the bracket off your auto brake and put the JDM manual brake in. Then you have to trim off some of the pedal stop to get it to clear the stearing wheel column. No big deal with a die grinder, just grind, test fit, grind, test fit until it fits without rubbing during pedal stroke. Clutch fits without any modification what so ever.
One word of warning, if you have big feet do not do this setup, with the JDM pedals installed the brake is closer to the gas than in a USDM and if you wear big shoes like me it makes it a pain. My combat boots just don't fit. On the other hand it makes it easy as hell to heal toe as you can easily reach both pedals with the bottom of your foot without having to twist your foot and get in a funny posistion.
It can be done. There are a few members that have used JDM pedals. The modification required in my opinion is not worth it for the end results of poor pedal placement and also having a smaller clutch pedal (see picture below). You will probably spend about $150 for JDM pedals that need to be modified to work. You can find UDSM pedals for $200-$250. It just isn't worth it to save $50-$100.

Thanks Oblique,
I can't seem to get a damn set of pedals for anywhere around 200, hell even 250 is a stretch or it will be missing a bunch of sensors.
I'm borderline going to make my own shifter pedal... :@
