H&T - Pedal offsets

Sorted...



Brake pedal raised, accelerator lowered, clutch and brake moved to "right most" position. Perfect for my dainty little toes

Would that solve me hitting the brake and the accelerator at the same time?? I do it all the time when i am changing down gears, its going to end with me ramming someone from behind one day. I have size 7 feet by the way so my foot sioze shouldnt be an issue.

Basically the clutch and brake pedals have three positions in relation to the pedal arm. Left, centre and right. To alter the position you need to remove the rivet, ease the pedal off the arm, reposition it and re-rivet it in place. Hardest bit is grinding the rivet out with a demmel.



Bit blurry... underside of pedal.

Thanks but for someone like me who doesnt know one end of a spanner to another it will be easier amputating my foot!!

did you re-rivet it or use a bolt?

I riveted it (4x10mm). I did think about a bolt but it would need to be cut to size with a locking nut and its hell of a fiddly to get any tools inside the pedal mount.

How about lowering the accelerator? I know it should be simple, but do you have any tips on that? Plus, how on earth do you get down inside the pedal box without breaking your back!

This should explain lowering the accelerator and raising the brake pedal.

As for getting to it all? Couple of ibuprofen washed down with a glass of wine, then just oil up and slide in on your back from the passenger side*

• Not a serious suggestion!
