Does anyone know what size drill bits I need to get to drill the hole for the clutch pedal?

Is it bigger than 1/2 inch? If you dont have one...I'd get a good set of drill bits that go up to 1/2 inch. I just bought a set for 25 bucks :)

yeah it is bigger than 1/2". Personally I've used an air drill with a grinder bit on it to get the job done. Although it probably could be done with a dremel tool too (just take forever to do).

no problem, btw the holes are indented on the inside of the fire wall behind the insulation cut out where the pedal goes.
