[Spridgets] Pedal box modifications

[WeslakeMonza1330 at aol.com]

Well I have thought about modifying the clutch and brake pedal and I do  
have 1 if not 2 or modified accelerator pedals of different lengths (currently 
 I'm using the shortest one).
 
The whole pedal box doesn't need to move, only the pivot point and that's  
what I'm most inclined to do.  There are a couple of ways to do this and  
I'm not bothered about how much work this will take so long as the final 
result  is exactly what I want.  Ideally I'd like a Marcos pedal box which was  
always fully adjustable forward and back.  To give you and idea of how much  
time and work I'm prepared to go to I've attached a picture of my current 4  
clock dash and my old 2 clock dash - a lot of work but looks perfect.
 
However, I wanted to know if anyone had already done this before and how  
they did it.  From what I can tell no-one has ever bothered before and  
no-one even seems to have experimented with non-standard accelerator pedal  
lengths before either.
 
regards

I guess  we'll have to put you on "the rack" to make your legs longer.

Instead  of trying to move the pedal box, cutting sheet metal, filling new
holes,  extending hydraulic lines etc, I would take out the pedals and 
modify
the  arms.  You can make pedal extensions that go directly on the pedal  
pads
or figure out how to add a piece of bar stock to extend the lower  portion 
of
the arm where the pad attaches. This would be a cut and weld  process, but
much quicker than trying to move the whole box.  You'll  have to figure out
something similar for the accelerator  pedal.
