[Healeys] Paddy Hopkirk pedal extension

I presume you also polished your DWR pedals.  I was quite surprised that they arrived with little finishing.  This offset idea is great.

I also changed the pedal spacing, and made my own accelerator pedal to better enable heel/ toe.

I also bought a set from DW. However didn't use their gas pedal or his dip switch idea. Found the DW gas pedal too big.

What I did do was to mount the clutch pedal not central to the lever but on the LHS. Made some tight fitting spacers with longer bolts. This gives an additional 1/2 in pedal separation.

Hi Bruce – maybe you can share with us how you did this:

[1] Do the pedal pads mount to the stock pedal arms, or require modification? I was also going to ask for the source, but they appear to say “DWR” on them, so maybe I already know ;

[2] A while back you shared the look of your sisal mats. That pic shows that you refined your dead pedal from the prior aluminum box to something better – how does the dead pedal work?

----------------

All the best,

Al Fuller

Bruce,

In your second photo I see what appears to be a Paddy Hopkirk pedal extension.  I had one on my 1961 Austin-Cooper many years ago.  

Being bigger than the stock accelerator size, does it improve things – like heel and toeing?  

I assume it fits neatly over the pedal as it appears, from memory, to be the same size as in the Mini Cooper.

Cheers

Interesting way to flood the dash.  When you said under the dash, I thought you meant in the foot wells.  Two projects for me:

1.  I decided to add a clock to my auxiliary panel below the heater control, which already held my ammeter and switches for the fog and spot lamps.  Extra credit for identifying the inspiration for the design of auxiliary panel.  Hint:  It is Healey related.

2.  I'm fabricating a rally stopwatch panel.

So , when idle times come . What do we do to fill the void 樂 . My project has been to install LED light strips under the dash of my 67 BJ 8 . Looks good . Easily removed. Hidden switch. Extra lighting can’t hurt in our cars . And our sights can always use extra lights . All for under $20 .
