Sparco 350 mm Pedal Set Settanta Short Silver 015R375PSN R375
The Sparco Settanta (Short Silver) is a universal pedal set, meaning it is not designed for one specific car but is intended to fit almost any vehicle with a manual transmission.
There is a slight mix-up in the part numbers you provided:
-
Settanta Short Silver: This refers to the pedal set (usually part number 037879IT01).
-
015R375PSN / R375: This actually refers to a Sparco Steering Wheel (350mm, Black Suede).
Assuming you are looking for information on the Settanta Pedals, here is the breakdown of suitability and the drilling process:
1. Which cars is it suitable for?
Because it is a "Universal Fit" set, it is suitable for nearly any passenger car, but with three important conditions:
-
Transmission Type: This specific "Short" set is designed for Manual Transmission cars (3 pedals: Clutch, Brake, and a "Short" Accelerator).
-
Pedal Shape: It fits best on cars with "standard" floor-mounted or hang-mounted pedals. If your car has an unusually wide or curved accelerator (like some luxury SUVs or older Mercedes), you might need the "Long" version instead.
-
Material: It is suitable for cars with metal pedal arms. Most modern cars have a metal core with a rubber cover; you remove the rubber cover and drill into the metal beneath.
2. Drill Fitment Requirements
Unlike "clip-on" pedals, Sparco Settanta pedals are high-performance accessories that require permanent installation for safety.
-
Drilling is Mandatory: You must drill holes through your car’s original metal pedal plates to bolt these on.
-
Hardware Included: The kit typically comes with the necessary counter-sunk bolts and lock nuts.
-
Tools Needed: You will need a power drill, a high-quality metal drill bit (usually 4mm or 5mm), and a wrench/pliers to hold the nut behind the pedal.
3. Key Fitment Checklist
Before buying, check these two things on your car:
-
Backside Clearance: Look behind your current pedals. Ensure there is enough space to reach behind with a nut and wrench. Some modern "drive-by-wire" plastic pedals are very thick and might be difficult to bolt through.
-
Accelerator Size: Measure your gas pedal. The "Short" Settanta accelerator is roughly 120mm x 45mm. If your factory gas pedal is significantly taller, it may look odd or feel unstable.
