[Healeys] DRIVER'S SIDE FOOTREST / ACCELERATOR PEDAL / HEEL TOE

[Steve Thomton]

Scott,
I don't know about the single best whole package you asked about that is, in
part, dependent on how tall you are and how long are your legs.  That said, I
made a dead pedal to put in place of my dimmer switch and put the "dip" switch
on the dash in place of the OD switch...Jag XKE's had a nice escheon that says
"Headlight Dip" which can replace the OD escheon. I wired the dip switch in
with a relay. I also cut the throttle pedal down almost 2", it's in the same
location with the same swing length, it's just the portion that sticks out
that I cut back.  Then on the brake and clutch I used aluminum spacers to get
the relationship with the throttle that worked best for me.
Here is a link to some pictures of what I've got.  I haven't done a full
project write-up on it but I think you can get the idea.

I have a 5 speed so I didn't need the OD switch.  If you have the overdrive,
of course, you'd have to find another location on the dash for the dip switch.
 
Cheers,
Steve
 
Oh, I forgot to mention that I have a 5 speed so the OD switch wasn't d

Hi all

Off to sprint my BJ7 this weekend and making a last minute check to see if
there is a simple solution out there for a throttle pedal that allows heel
toe
changes and / or a left footrest to go in place of the headlight dipper
switch.  Any recommendations?

Thanks
