Title: Pedels
Post by: pockets on February 24, 2006, 09:48:51 AM

Is it possible to make the pedels further apart?

I have large feet and when my foot is on the gas, the brake pedel rubs against my foot in most shoes. Some time the sole of my shoe gets stuck for a second when moving to the brake.

looking for ideas, thanks

unfortunately I dont think you will find anything, you may just have to find a better shoe to wear.

I have the same problem, I was just planning on heating it up with a torch and bending it, but this is a little easier on my rail than your bug

Have you seen the roller type of gas pedal?

try looking a roller pedal, and other configurations in the catalogue below.

Then call AS and find out if they can get the part for you.
