Subject: [Tigers] Concern\Question - Front Drivers Seat Foot well space


Installed drivers seat today, and moved seat all the way to rear - comes
right up to rear shelf on slider - good. I am 6'0" tall.  Concern is the
amount of room between knees, stock steering wheel (15.3"), right knee =
to
shift lever and the foot pedals.  With the clutch pushed in there is =
still
about 8" left to the firewall with about 11" from brake pedal and the
accelerator pedals to the firewall.

Do we really have this much wasted foot well room from the end of the =
pedals
to the firewall?  The brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are about =
even
in the foot well with the clutch about 1" further 'out' than the other =
2.


Findings:  Both the brake and clutch pedal have the same casting number =
of
1990300 but with different bends entirely.  This seams unusual.  The =
Clutch
bends to the left with only 1 available hole connecting to the pedal
bracket.  The brake bends slightly to the right with 2 holes available
connecting to the pedal bracket.  Both brackets look to be the same.


Spacers at the master cylinders:  brake master has spacer between master =
and
firewall.  Clutch master does not have spacer due to brake reservoir
slightly to one side closest to clutch reservoir, so no spacer or the =
clutch
master reservoir would contact brake master reservoir and would not bolt
up..

I see all this wasted foot well space and now wonder if I have the right
pedals, brackets etc for this car.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Joel Martin
