Does anyone have a suggestion for an aftermarket accelerator pedal setup that would offer a larger pedal surface, possible some position adjustability, and would bolt-in relatively easily to a 2nd gen F-body?
During my school last weekend, I quickly realized that my pedals are not conducive to heel/toe usage. Eric has even made a spacer already to move the accelerator pedal out from the firewall some, but it's just such a small pedal that it is hard to straddle the 2 surfaces.
I love the Joe's pedal that Rob got for that project he seems to have stopped work on, but I'm not sure if I could mount it in the floor area of a second gen. The Z/28's for 70 had a floor-mounted pedal that might work, but it still uses the original rod/level assembly, so I think it may still be too close to the floor in that case.
I built my own, maybe it will give you some ideas. I designed the bracket so the pedal is .75" closer to the plain of the brake pedal. Big difference when rev matching under braking.

I like that idea... I have the Modo pedal setup, too bad they don't make a larger matching pedal.
Eric has TOW right now doing a few things before my auto-x this weekend. She's headed back to him next week for some more work, so maybe we'll work on something like this. Thanx for the pics!
We're actually already done that. It's between 1/2" and 3/4" away from the firewall already. There's just too much space between the brake and gas pedals right now.
Did you use a spring on your pedal, similar to the original setup? And where did you get the u-shaped piece, did you make it?
