Has anyone here used Wilwood swing mount Pedals on their AD ? I am looking for some options for my build.

They're great for competition cars like round trackers, etc. That price is outrageous for a street machine unless you're into bragging about how much money you spent on the project.

If you are trying to clear up room under the floorboards, there are lots of options, or make your own. The factory setup has worked well for many vehicles for many years. I turned Jeep pedals upside down to work a Willwood clutch master and GMhydroboost for hung pedals, lots of simple options.

Jerry I would rather not spend a ton of money on a Pedal Assy. I have been trying to get my head around how to hang pedals under the dash. The stock brake pedal arm does not clear the L/side exhaust manifold on my V8. So I will have to put them under the dash. I have not been able to find a suitable donor vehicle (85-87 Chevy truck with the hydro clutch setup) in my local junk yard. There are several used stock setups on e-bay but they average 300-350 in price. I can get the Wilwood setup for half that price but have my concerns with it. Someone once said they used a S-10 pedal setup. They are a dime a dozen if something like that would work.

Ed I might have to look at some Jeeps too.

As long as you can fabricate a fixture to support the pedal assembly, the S-10 pedals should work. When I was building round trackers I used 1" square steel tubing to fabricate pedal mounts. Scavenge the pedals and the pivot shaft from a donor vehicle and fab your own support brackets. Square tubing is strong, and easy to cut and weld to make a custom-fit support.
