think there is only with japanese instructions supplied, but there's not much to fitting so the pictures should be easy enough to follow.
For the screws on the foot rest think i used a socket and universal joint.

Ah yeah the accel pedal holes, a little tricky at first getting that bar through final hole but it will go ok, u just need something to clamp down on the pedal enough 2 align the holes while you thread it through. Just make sure u cover the pedal with something first 2 avoid any scratches.

Fitted mine at the weekend and yes lining up the accelerator pedal was a right git, but eventually went through with a good deal of wiggling around

As for the footrest, forget it sprayed loads of wd40 on and left it for now will need a decent socket set and some kind of torque wrench I reckon, going in on saturday for a service so will ask nicely if they can loosen the nuts for me.

Look though so well pleased

Think you over-tightened it. It's a right chew on. My footrest unbolted fairly easily, 10mm socket IIRC and a ratchet sorted it out. Look well smart when fitted.

nevermind hey?! least its tight now! job all done. garage shifted footrest bolts in about 15seconds!! i put them back on and took minutes of huffing and puffing and cramp etc. then realised i had forgotten to put washers on.... anyway seems to hold tight so i couldnt bring myself to undo and redo with washers. maybe another day!!

total effect is wicked! looks the danglies! my car might have to be like our lounge.....a shoes off zone!!

ill post a job done pic later

Yep, just to adjust the angle.

Looks good but they don't stay that way for long
Got an old set, taken off my old car, lying about somewhere scratched to buggery
Can't be arsed to fit them to the newage.
