Place it beside the pedal, not behind it. I found a little recess in the side of the pedal housing that accommodates the SB housing to some degree. It allows the accelerator housing to be mounted to the floor but you can still see the orange SB cable when you look down in the footwell. It's not perfect but the SB results will quickly make you forget it.

Is this the only way to put it back? Their instructions say to tuck the SB body back into the carpet hole, but it's a biatch to get it back in there. Anyone installed it back elsewhere?

-thanks

Nevermind... took a bit more work, but I got the SB body connection back behind the carpet. I had to cut the carpet open a bit more to make it fit. I personally like a cleaner look. You can't see a thing in the footwell, not even the wires, you'd have to stick your head down there and know to look for the wire.

I looove it, almost scary.
