I got mine with an order of speedoparts I had to get anyway from PJ 
Grady. There were no instructions with it, but I had allready been 
familiarised with the procedure through email AND my father is quite 
experienced with rivnuts, he even has a special too for them.

The only thing that made us install it twice is that I "fitted" the 
pedalposition with the door open, not realising that my knee could go 
more outward without the armrest on the left. When we finally had it 
installed it turned out to be too close to me (too far "up").

To avoid unneccesary extra holes we ended up making a small bracket
to get the pedal in the right position, using the previously drilled
holes from the wrong position. Now all I have to do is reinstall the
thing...

I realise this was our fault, since I didn't have the instructions I 
don't know if it allready is in there, but I woudl like to warn 
everyone that IMHO you should find the right position with the door 
closed!
