Hi Guys and Girls

Does anyone know if you can adjust the pedal box, clutch, brake and go faster pedal so they are all the same level. I am trying to heal toe at the moment but the acclerator pedal is so much lower than the other two, would really like to drop the other two down to match as they seem quite high when driving.
Thanks in advance.

Only way l can think of you achieving this will be to undo the throttle pedal from the bulkhead make a spacer and fit longer bolts,and this means you can then \'adjust\' the pedal platform to the faces of the others.

Couple of things if you do this, don\'t forget to allow for the freeplay on the brake pedal and the fact that you are pushing the brake pedal when you want to slide you foot across, otherwise the throttle pedal will end up being to high.

Also you will need to measure the original throttle travel and fit a throttle stop on the floor to compensate so you don\'t over push the pedal and break or bend something.

Hope this helps.
All the best Clive

Thanks Clive.
I have just been having a good look, its damn uncomfortable though, it would seem i can drop the brake pedal as there is like a U shaped braked with locking nut on a threaded spline, which the pedal arm attaches to, undo the lock nut and wind the U bracket down and reattach, my only prob is i cannot get the pedal arm far enough out the way to spin the bracket if you get my drift. The clutch pedal appears similar, so should be the same.
I think i will leave it to the pro,s. I hate cramming myself into small places to do what looks like a simple job but turns out harder than originally tought.
If anyone does know how to get the pedal arm out the way, let me know please guys, its probably real simple, but just cant see it at the moment.

Only thing about doing it that way is that you will end up with the clutch pedal too high which could make it all feel a little weird.
