Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Preparation: Confirm frame tube size (28mm to 32mm) or floor tray compatibility and bolt size (M6 or M8). Gather heel rest mount, M6 or M8 bolts, 10mm socket wrench, torque wrench, and thread locker.
Positioning: Identify the chassis frame tube or floor tray mounting point near the pedals. For frame mounting, position the clamp around the tube; for floor tray mounting, align the mount’s base with pre-drilled holes or mark new ones.
Securing: Apply thread locker to the M6 or M8 bolts. For clamp mounting, tighten the clamp bolts to 8-10 ft-lbs with a torque wrench, adjusting the cradle position (10-20mm) for heel alignment. For floor tray mounting, secure bolts to 10-12 ft-lbs. Ensure the cradle is level with the pedals.
Final Check: Test pedal operation to confirm heel support and comfort. Test-drive at low speed to verify stability, re-torquing bolts after 10 laps. Carry spare bolts for trackside repairs, ensuring proper clamp tension for frame mounts.
Maintenance Tips
Inspect for bolt looseness, corrosion, or cradle wear every 20 race hours, cleaning with a mild solvent and brush. Reapply thread locker and re-torque bolts monthly, replacing mounts if cracked or deformed, typically after 800-1200 hours. Store spares in a dry case to prevent corrosion, matching Luckyway’s component advice. For junior drivers, adjust cradle position as they grow to maintain ergonomic support, and check clamp integrity after heavy pedal use.
