Thread: Cramped foot peddles...

Tweet

There has to be something better than what is on the market for Model A sized cars as far a foot peddle clearances. Ive built dozens of cars over the years and this is one issue that just plain makes me nuts. Stuffing the steering column, brake peddle, and throttle in an area the size of a coffee can. For me it takes the fun out of driving these things as it restricts the natural foot movement of driving? Maybe it is just me but it seems that there has to be something better available that than those off set miss direction things that cost $600.00. I admit they are pretty sweet and they do work well but for the price it just seems silly. As a car builder I see the price of building a quality car going through the roof and I for one would like to come up with something that is affordable for the young start up guys just getting started in the building process. I was thinking about building a false floor closer to the seat which would open up that area, or maybe a little foot ledge on the tranny bell housing hump to rest the heel of my foot on. It might feel a little odd to reach the throttle peddle with that but?. Thought Id throw this out to see if you have any ideas or solutions... Just one of my pet peeves that given some though Im sure we can do better? Ideas? Thanks in advance... Maybe the problem is my size 13's?
