Has anyone put in a custom dead pedal on their Ultima and might be willing to share some pictures? I'm looking to have a dead pedal fabricated to the left of the clutch pedal to rest my left foot on when not engaging the clutch. I would love to see what others have done.

That`s easy, just order one from the factory, they supply an angled piece of aluminum that fits right next to the pedal over the chassis tube which really works very well.
I`m not sure but I think it comes standard with the double skin kit.

I thought of fitting one when I first bought my GTR but I have since found that using the right hand side of the passenger foot rest does the job.

I've tried that.
And it's not really comfortable with my LHD car... biggrin

My dip switch is just to the left of the clutch pedal, so I use that!

My legs are so straight that I just move the top of the foot to the left and let it hang there.
Trips to Le Mans, no problem.

Throttle foot is a different matter. Needs to me pressed hard sometimes (to prevent cramp of course!!!).

Dead pedal for RHD vehicles is a tad difficult without making some kind of brace to the chassis.

Car Builder Solutions do 2 foot rests. A larger one for the passenger and a smaller one for the driver.
I have both and they fit nicely beside each other.
If I were fitting them now I would fit an alloy sheet 'fence' between them to stop the passengers feet encroaching on your space.
