PeterS Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I now realize that my pedals are not set up for toe and heel changes. When my brake pedal is fully depressed, the throttle pedal is still too far away for me to be able to roll my right foot over onto it. What is the recommended way of making the adjustments? If I've understood correctly, if I adjust the throttle cable, it will only make matters worse by being further away. If I move the brake and clutch assembly further away, then SWMBO may not be able to reach the pedals, and it's her car 😳 If I bend the pedal arms, I am worried about causing weakness in a safety critical item. What have others done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Diconnect the BP and wind in / out the shaft from the MC, then reonnect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick W Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I agree with Mav. You can easily adjust the brake pedal height via the screw thread on the push rod for the master cylinder. Just don't forget to readjust the brake light switch afterwards! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterS Posted February 28, 2003 Author Share Posted February 28, 2003 Thanks guys. Hadn't spotted that possibility. I'll try that this weekend. Then I'll start learning to drive properly - again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alias Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Most modern cars have pedals that can fit in 3 different positions. I've got my clutch and brake on position 2 and the accelerator on position 1. This means they are all nicely in line. The second thing you could do is get some tubing and fit it around the accelerator pedal thus making it a bit wider. One car - 1400 Supersport with 6 gears and clamshell wings.
