Can anyone advise me on pedals, please?

I currently have drilled metal pedals on the Cerbera, two narrow and one wide. The wide one is on the accelerator, which makes heal and toeing massively easy. Too easy, in fact, as when braking, I can occasionally catch the accelerator too - probably a wide feet/ wrong shoe issue.

Is the position of the wide pedal correct? I am tempted to move it across to the brake to give my flipper feet more helpful positioning!

Very helpful picture, thank you!

Someone in the past ownership of mine must have had small feet, or simply put them on the wrong way...

I’m sure my brake and throttle pedals are much closer together than in that photo. I often hit the throttle when braking, I did an emergency stop the other week (clutch and brake) and caught the throttle as well - revved it to 5k+ rpm in the process frown
If you swapped the brake and throttle pedals in the picture around, the wider "plate" which would then be on the throttle with an offset, closes the gap significantly. The issue you describe is exactly my problem, although I seem to do it regularly - cue slowing down for traffic lights/zebra crossing with a snarling exhaust note which seems to scare the general population unnecessarily!!

Oh, I see what you mean!

Interesting that yours is upside down, and I guess also heel'n'toe related, maybe?
