    Do they differ, can they not be interchanged? Also, how do most aftermarket drilled pedals install? Do you remove the stock rubber one and screw these in?

    Trying to help someone with a nice set with some Ferrari shields inset at the bottom of them.

    Check out http://www.ricambiamerica.com/ Daniel sells the Hill ones. As for fitting, in the 355 the rubber piece can stay if you wish, but mine was tatty so I removed it. While currently held in by 2 self tappers, I plan on drilling the holes out a bit and using a Nut-sert tool to fit a blind nut and then use hex-head countersunk stainless screws.

    Those look good, but I think there are a few problems with them.

    1. The machined recess on the side is a perfect place for the side of your shoe sole to catch on while operating the clutch. F1 maybe no problem.

    2. They don't have the bend/contour at the bottom like the original piece.

    3. That "inset" logo apears to be a gel decal and not recessed at all. So it will likely fall off in no time. If it doesn't fall off, it will look ugly very soon after some use.

    So 355 and 348 dead pedal can not be interchanged?

    I think it can be interchanged, but I would have to hear an opinion from a 348 owner.

    That ebay one is kinda cool looking.

    I have the Hill dead pedal in my 355, got it from Daniel, matches the other pedals and looks really nice.

    We did discover that the GTS and spiders have different dead pedals than the 355b's. The same could be true of the 348's. I think there is more reinforcement in that area because of the open top.
