Brake pedal relocation (AT)
Brake pedal relocation (AT)
I always drive with my foot on the gas while rubbing or close to rubbing the center tunnel (in other words, as far right as possible). But couple of my shoes have wide soles and one time the sole of my right foot got stuck under the brake pedal as I was beginning to move my right foot over from gas to brake. Caught me by surprise but shifted into neutral and did the left foot braking and nothing bad happened other than a sore hip joint. (Gotta love rev-limiter)
I'm not trying to say I'm going to do left foot braking so please don't derail this tread into that debate, but I'm thinking :
1. Move brake pedal far enough left to clear soles.
2. Move brake pedal down so that when resting, the pedal height is close to gas pedal
or both.
Is there a simple way to relocate brake pedal toward the left without removing it? I know of one way to remove, cut, add a block of metal, 4 bolts thru the block 2 each for upper and lower piece. It won't move the pedal far enough to be right next to the dead pedal(footrest) but it'll do some good. And I don't have to go through the dynamics engineering course :P Moving it down would require some calculations I imagine, not to mention checking for enough stroke beyond lockup too. I guess it could also be useful for two foot drivers with full harness, and performance people would have done/seen something similar maybe?
I'd like to know if there's some way to do it at home or what kind of shop would do such work.
