Hi List,
After a lot of though I decided against modifying the pedal box (moving
the pivot) and went with modifying the pedals, actually just the clutch
pedal, instead.
I now have the seat 1.75" further back which is absolutely as far back as
it goes (it's a thin racing seat). So I consequently have 1.75" more arm
reach but not yet straight arms (with a steering column already shortened by
1.0" and a flat steering wheel).
What I did in the end was increase the length of the clutch pedal
(directly under the pad) though ideally it needs to be a bit longer still. For the
brake pedal I simply swapped the standard 1969 pedal for a 1500 Midget
brake pedal which I already knew sat a lot higher.
For the throttle pedal I swapped back to my less shortened 15 Midget
pedal that I had in a few years ago.
I'm sure we'd all like an extra 1.75"(!) and certainly the car does feel a
lot more comfortable and I even notice the difference when getting in and
out.
So, job done apart from eventually lengthening another 69 clutch pedal.
