Mirrorl Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Hi all Just after a bit of wisdom. Has anyone made any alterations to there throttle pedal to give a little bit more foot room. Maybe bending it slightly or any other modifications. Any thoughts greatly appreciated john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted June 26, 2018 Member Share Posted June 26, 2018 Bending is very common.Is it just the throttle pedal, or would you like the notes on adjusting all of the pedals?JonathanPS: I couldn't get enough bend on mine and it currently has a mahogany section bolted on top. That will stay there until I take up the offer of one of the two kind Members who offered a metalliurgic solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Which way do you want to move it ? Are you driving in narrow shoes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM25T Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 You should be able to adjust the height using adjuster on outer part of cable at engine end ? .... assuming it is a mechanical cable operated device still .... not some modern fly by wire gizmo. There are also a couple of pivot positions available. Take the top off the pedal box and look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedtrip Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 My 2017 360R came with a two position adjustable peddle box. For some reason CC built the car with the clutch and brake on on the further position and the throttle on the nearest. I've since moved the throttle position to the rear and bent it to assist with aid heel and toeing, but without much success. The brake and clutch also need to be moved forwards.Throttle still operates on a cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim 123 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 What SM25T says is a good starting point on a recent build Caterham. Be conscious that you may need to adjust the pedal stop (underneath the pedal) to get full throttle opening if you lower the pedal in this way.

Speedtrip Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 SMT25's suggestion won't help. As mentioned previously you'll probably need to move the clutch, brake and throttle positions in the pedal box then play bending the throttle pedal. For some reason CC initially set mine up to make life more difficult than necessary.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
