Pedal Adjustment

[thegreengoblet]

Is there any pedal adjustment to the Cerbs? I have a 2000 Lightweight and large feet! I've just bought some new (fashionable) shoes that have increased my size 11's to an effective size 14. Apart from looking like Ronald McDonald I'm really struggling to push the clutch pedal. I wear a suit so I don't really want to wear comfortable kart boots into the office or change in the car park for that matter!
Also, I cannot work out with my current pedal alignement how anyone would be able to "toe n' heel". Both my clutch and brake are aligned but are at least 2" forward of the throttle?

I've sure Leven will have some adjustable pedals you could fit. They won't change the pedal spacing much though, just the alignment and height.

For me "heel and toe" is a bit of a misnomer, I tend to roll my sole across to the throttle. My heel doesn't really get involved - maybe it would with floor-pivoting pedals.

The pedals are adjustable on my 2003 model. I believe they are the standard pedals and each flat bit has a threaded section with a locknut allowing each pedal to be adjusted forwards and backwards by about 2 inches.

Thanks guys

I went the other way and bought some racing trainers specifically for driving the Cerbera as I usually wear walking trainers, which are a little too broad.

I had the pedals altered in our 2001 Cerb as I'm 5'2", the clutch and brake are the only 2 that alter, the accelerator stays the same.

They were fine for me, but MOH couldn't get his foot off the accelerator and onto the brake comfortably, so we had the brake dropped back a notch, so our pedals graduate in height from clutch to accelerator.

I wonder if yours have been raised by a previous owner.

Thanks for that Ancol..... that's you off my Christmas Card list

I have some kart boots Dave that I wear when I go for a blast.... I just look a nob in them with my suit on. Look even more of a nob trying to change into my shoes in the car park in the rain!

I can see the thread and locking nuts now... dunno why I didn't spot them before?? I can't remember it being that difficult to push pedals when I owned her before, so maybe they have been adjusted. I'll have a go at making adjustments when my footwell dries out - like a swimming pool in there at the mo. My thoughts exactly Grassy - to graduate the pedals.

Thanks for the info (and insults!) folks
