This is floor mount. 6-1 pedal  ratio  per Wilwood.

Dual master cylinder , with balance  bar adjustment.

Anybody ever mounted a floor mount as a swing pedal?  

Seems like it should work fine.  Parts all seem to line up , master cyl fit fine as swing pedal.  Something I am not seeing?

I noticed on Wilwood site, swing pedals are listed at 6.25 to 7 - 1 pedal ratio.

Obviously:  I have not called Wilwood yet.

Project car changes.  Swing pedal would be better - easier  fit on this project.

I have years ago. Worked as expected. This was on a race car.

Only thing I notice is he angle of the pedal on the end of the arm; angle is designed for floor mounting, and needs to be changed about 60 degrees or so or it will be pointing at the floor.

I mounted cylinders.

Notice, I mounted the cylinders on backside of the bracket.  I believe Wilwood design is for cylinders to be on front of bracket they bolt to?

Pedal angle looks OK.. Although : The  push  rod is at slight angle

You are correct. I believe that I made a pushrod ext. when I did that.

Not to be critical, but that angle looks to be a bit more than "slight".  Will that angle potentially cause uneven piston/bore wear in the hydraulic cylinder, leading to premature fluid leakage?
