Pedal Extensions to ease "heel-and-toe"ing and increase comfort

It's been a while since my last advert for this stuff and lots of new members.

I sell 3D printed plugs (about 70 or so to club members) that will fit into your Caterham's pedal to make it wider, so that you can more easily "heel and toe" (in reality, it's just using the side of your foot to blip the throttle).

This is especially useful in SV chassis cars where the gap can be up to 75mm.

I supply a 8mm plug on the right side, and two of 10, 15 or 20, 25, 30 mm extension plugs on the left to tune the gap.

In my S3 chassis I have a 50mm gap in which I use a 10mm plug and in my size 8 driving boots, it's perfect. 35mm seems pretty good to me and is about 1/3 of the width of my foot. for an SV a 20mm is pretty good.

Following on from the 70 sets of my pedal plugs I've supplied to you lot, I've come up with a new way of paying for super-unleaded. After a few months testing including 4000 miles and 6 trackdays, I am happy to offer my new larger pedal extensions:

The body is curved to provide a much larger contact point for your foot, meaning much more comfortable and even easier to heel-and-toe. I can supply with grip tape or without. After 4000 miles of testing, I'm not using it currently.

The back has a marker for drilling a small hole to fit a self-tapper for increased anti-rotation.

where the drill hole is to be put the plastic is heavily reinforced

I'm doing these for 30quid+6p&p and can do any usual colour.

any questions?

if you're interested in this or my custom mirror mounts, quadlock mounts or any of the other stuff that I make, go have a look at https://uberniche.co.uk

cheers!
