Anyone have any experience on the different pedal sets available from Leven Technologies. Have had the basic 2 extension pedals + pedal plate on a different car (£66) but they're out of stock at present and only have the full pedal set available (£120 with the adjustable throttle pedal).

Not sure if it's worth the extra cash for an adjustable throttle pedal since I'de normally just adjust the clutch and brake pedals (for heel and toe changes) to match the throttle anyway?

Is changing the full pedal set any more awkward?

I've got the basic set on my Griff. They were a bit fiddly to fit as you have to drill the existing pedal plates. You will also need to repaint the existing plates as these can be seen through the gaps in the new pedals.

The complete replacement pedals I would suspect are easier to fit and probably look better close up.

I got the full set for Christmas and I have fitted the clutch and brake , they are easy the throttle is a bit/lot harder, easy enough to remove but the end of the throttle cable is terminated in a crimp on nipple through a hole in the throttle rod so either have to cut end off as the old rod is not slotted there is just a hole.
Ill fit it soon , they look really good I must say , don't go for the cheap versions

I've got them on the Chim, but were fitted for me.

No problems with grip (this was a concern initially) and I'm very happy with them.

If i was getting them again I'd def go for the set with adjustable throttle. I have adjusted my brake pedal as much as I can but its still not comfortable for heel and toeing, I need more height on the throtte pedal.

I got the full set ... well worth it. Not mechanically challenging, just bloody awkward to do ... well worth the adjustability though ...

Thanks folks. Think that might have tempted me enough to go for the full set with adjustable throttle pedal although I suspect I might be cursing it once I start the job.

Fitted a complete set in my last Griff and its well worth it to have the throttle arm adjustment.
Top of throttle arm slotted and with a little help of a screwdriver to spread it, out the cable collar fell. However...
My new Griff has a slot, but the cable collar has been soldered into the hole, so i have had to buy a new throttle cable as i cannot see a way of removing the arm without damaging the cable or the collar.
I don't know if this is a one off situation but worth taking a look in the footwell to make sure.

I haven't got the adjustable throttle pedal... but have rotated the throttle pedal cover 180 degrees, so it sits closer to the brake. This allows me to "roll" my foot and blip the throttle whilst braking...

Have done same on mine. But I'm only a size 7 so it's still not quite as comfortable as it would be if they were same height. H&T is possible but if I was doing it again I'd buy adjustable throttle pedal.
