That has always confused me too... I don't think I've driven a car that I could actually use my heel on either pedal to do this without turning my knee 90*! :headscratch:

Thanx again for the tips Sieg. I talked to Eric about it today, and we're going to try and do something similar to your setup. I was driving this afternoon and was just that much more conscious of needing to do something to resolve this.

Hope it helps. :thumbsup:

It doesn't matter how dial your motor, suspension, and brakes are if you don't have good (precise) input control over the throttle and brakes!

Time to followup on this... I picked up TOW today, and got to try out the new pedal setup. Thanx again Sieg for the idea! Eric did something very similar to yours with a couple of changes.

From what I understand, he used the Modo pedal which I already had installed as the 'base' to mount the new pedal on top of. That worked since it was already there, and was metal and thus strong enough for this purpose. He modified it in a neat way which allow me to adjust the point in the rotation at which the rotation stops and the pedal rod starts moving. He did this by tapping a set screw into the Modo pedal which pushes against the rod. Pretty neat.

Also, he made me a set of spacers that allow me to easily bring the pedal closer to me by adding 1 at a time (about 0.1" thick each I believe). Right now I have 2 installed, with one more available.

I have to adjust my driving a little now with this new pedal. I was so accustomed to angling my foot off the brake pad, but I don't need to do that anymore. I blipped the throttle pretty good the first time I hit the brakes. Oops. :)

Here are a couple of pictures of the final product...
