Wilwood Swing Mount Clutch/Brake Pedal Assembly - Forward Mount
WIL340-13834
The Wilwood Swing Mount Clutch / Brake Pedal Assembly is a lightweight, high-strength pedal system designed for custom chassis, hot rods, race cars, rock crawlers, and off-road builds requiring a forward-mounted master cylinder. This assembly mounts a single brake or clutch master cylinder outside the firewall, providing clean packaging, excellent rigidity, and smooth pedal operation.
A forged aluminum I-Beam pedal arm and aluminum mounting box minimize weight while maintaining exceptional strength. The 7.0:1 pedal ratio delivers excellent hydraulic leverage for manual brake and clutch systems, while the laterally adjustable non-slip pedal pad allows drivers to fine-tune pedal position for improved ergonomics and comfort.

Fitment Notes
- Accepts Wilwood vertical-mount flange single or tandem outlet master cylinders.
- Horizontal-mount flange master cylinders require Wilwood Adapter Kit PN 250-3677.
- Designed for manual clutch or manual brake hydraulic systems.
- Suitable for race cars, hot rods, off-road vehicles, rock crawlers, and custom fabricated chassis.
- Four-wheel brake systems require a tandem outlet master cylinder. Single outlet master cylinders should not be used in four-wheel brake applications.
- Master cylinder, pushrod, reservoir plumbing, and mounting hardware are sold separately.
FAQ
1. Why is a 7.0:1 pedal ratio beneficial?
A 7.0:1 pedal ratio provides substantial mechanical leverage, allowing the driver to generate higher hydraulic pressure with less pedal effort. This ratio is well suited for manual brake and clutch systems that do not use a power booster.
2. Why mount the master cylinder outside the firewall?
Forward-mounted master cylinders simplify pedal box packaging, free up interior space, and make master cylinder service easier. This configuration is especially common in custom tube chassis and race vehicles.
3. What advantage does the forged aluminum I-Beam pedal arm provide?
The forged I-Beam construction offers excellent rigidity while minimizing weight. Reduced pedal flex helps maintain a consistent pedal feel and improves hydraulic efficiency during aggressive braking or clutch operation.
4. Can this pedal be used for both brake and clutch systems?
Yes. This assembly is designed to operate either a single hydraulic brake master cylinder or a hydraulic clutch master cylinder. Proper master cylinder bore selection should always match the intended application.
5. What should be considered when choosing a master cylinder?
Select the master cylinder based on pedal ratio, caliper or slave cylinder volume requirements, desired pedal effort, and overall hydraulic system design. Four-wheel brake systems require a tandem outlet master cylinder for safe dual-circuit operation.
