Re: Racing pedals
Yes. Pet peeve. Had a buddy with something like size 13 barge looking shoes,always untied. Drove a VW bug. Ya ever see the pedals in a Bug? Some country's postage stamps are bigger. Real men drive real Jeeps that have pedals big enough for their real men's boots! I just made that up.... I picked out a set of pedals that the rubber was raised horizontal rows with chrome metal slats and tabs to hold on to original pedal. I also got the matching parking brake and dimmer switch pedals. I actually bought a second set so when the chrome started to get a little rusty I'll swap em out and clean up the first set, the were cheap. Now the backs of the new pedals were curved. Had a friend that welds make up a couple of adapter plates that I bolted to where the original rubber was and were curved to fit the new pedals. I used some contact cement and the tabs to hold em. 4 years now no problems. It only raised the pedal height about 3/4 on an inch.
