Thanks and No problemo!

The pedal surface is .125" 6061 AL. The mount is 1 x 1.5 x .140" tubing. Mounting screws are 8 x 32 x 3/8". Pedal plate dimensions are 5.75" tall, 3" wide at bottom, 2" at top, extension is 2 7/8" tall. The angle is 10*. I used a linchpin for the pivot and safety wired it, there's a better solution but for $0.89 it works.



Since I've heard no mention of this as an issue I was wondering if I was the only one fighting the stock pedal configuration.

To know that was an issue would require a running car. Hence you don't hear much about things like that on this forum.

I like your design on the gas pedal... great idea, I might copy your idea to.

Next week is supposed to be sunny and hot all week... I'm thinking about going out to the Beaches cruise in at PIR to look at cars, and watch the drag races. It's on Wednesday, July 3rd if your interested in meeting there.

Great solution! Looks good in the car too.
At first I thought you were working on the white carpet looking at your first pic. I was wondering how the hell you get away with that. My wife would be all over my @$&. Then I realized it was a towel. Haha

Dude, that is seriously awesome. Looks great and gets it done.

Yeah I noticed that issue back when I had a running car... the solution for me was and is a clutchless trans.

Thanks Dale.
I'm interested, limited time - early departure required, what time do you plan on getting there?

Thanks - towels are definitely safer, especially borrowed ones.

Thanks Dave - No need to rev match on downshifts - just hit it with a hammer?

Are you kidding me? Pretty much the identical issue in the 2nd Gen as well. I searched a truckload of aftermarket pedal sets that don't solve the issue.

I did end up with a set of Modo Innovations pedals as they were the best looking. The biggest issue is the massive difference in height between the brake and gas pedals. I've thought of using spacers to raise the height of the gas pedal assembly......but I never pulled the trigger, this thread has inspired me to get back on that idea!!!

Great job Sieg, wonderful fabrication!!

We did exactly that on TOW. By raising the gas pedal and dropping the brake pedal a little, we found a much better match on the gas/brake pedal heights. I was pretty unhappy with them at first also!

Nice job Sieg.
