Just wondering if a Tamora/Tuscan etc peddle box could be fitted to a Chimaera, and if I could off set it to allow space for a foot rest (clutch foot!)

cheers Mark

Leven imply that their pedal kit has a smaller clutch pedal to allow for a footrest (I think).

Their website seems to have shrunk though and they don't have a downloadable brochure (unless it's my Firefox blocking it).

Leven pedals are all the same size.
But the bolts are offset so you can turn them opposite each other to give a bigger gap.
The good point is you can give yourself a bigger gap between the gas and brake pedal.
Won't work for clutch ie no room to rest your leg.
Sorry

My standard pedals are offset.

Create a gap between the clutch and brake pedal by offsetting the clutch left and the brake right.

Slide the foot through the gap and rest under the clutch pedal.

Are you sure you would be happy offsetting the pedals? Lots of people who sat in my Fiat commented 'how do you drive at that angle'. It just seems to be very upsetting to some?

Personally didn't bother me, and I quite like the idea of a pedal box TBH.

I have a leven set on my car and can put my foot under the pedal , but would like to construct a foot rest (have just driven from Northern Ireland to london) and I find it a bit uncomfortable
was thinking of trying something like these

I always fancied a pedal box as well in the Griffith . . .Go on, someone take the plunger and then write it up for those of us who haven't the time this winter wink

Although looking at the placement of the reservoir and servo it wouldn't suit my 6ft3 frame . . or a Griffith/Chim set up . .

I have seen some of the Tuscan racers with pedal boxes like these.

Is the Tuscan racer footwell size and shape similar to Griff and Chimp? Perhaps we could learn something from the racers’ installation.

I looked into doing this,primarily for the lighter clutch action.What i found was that you would need to have a remote brake servo,and even then the pedals would sit too far forward due to rear of the pedal box clearance issues.The cerbera footwell has more room.It's a real shame as the S6 pedal box really is nice.
