Pedals replica
Discussion
I would like to make a replica of the Caterham 170 (S3 chassis) pedals in PVC, just to test how difficult it is to use my feet in such a narrow space. My idea is to try different driving shoes and see what happens. I have found some different measurements but I would like to be sure. I have also tried downloading 3D models but again I'm not sure if they are precise. I don't know if this photo belongs to a modern Caterham. I am interested in the 170 model. Could anyone please tell me the data corresponding to the numbers in the photo?
PD: I have already tried fitting my big butt in a chair narrowing the sides with blocks until the free space is 40 cm (which is the space between the side wall and the central tunnel in the S3 chassis) and I had no problem. Tight, but acceptable.
Sorry for my English.

Well, I ve just stuck my head down the footwell of my 2017 S3 420R & these are the measurements for my car. I think the chassis on the 170 is the same size as any other S3 chassis Caterham. It s just the wings & suspension that are different.
1 - 37mm
2 - 32mm
3 - 22mm
4 - 50mm
5 - 48mm
6 - 40mm
7 - 35mm
8 - 264mm
My measurement for the brake pedal (& therefore measurements 5 & 6) takes account of the fact that I ve removed the pedal rubber on my car. The pedal is obviously a little wider with the rubber attached.
I also have an extension on my throttle pedal, but I ve ignored that in the measurements & simply measured the width of the pedal itself.
I suspect there is a fair amount of variation between different Sevens in terms of the pedal positioning & there s a lot of adjustment possible, so I m sure you could tailor the pedal box to meet your requirements.
I think the ability to set the car up as you like it is one of the joys of Seven ownership. Good luck in your search!
