Gene Riffe [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Saint Petersburg, Florida   Posted by sellersrodshop  -  09/02/2007 07:08 PM gene, had the same problem with mine as far as the pedals being too close. my brake pedal rod came up thru the floor & at the top, bent to the right 90 degrees for the pedal to bolt on. i cut the end off , flipped it to the left side & rewelded. that alone gave me about 2.5" in clearance. also check the type of pedal you are using. mine has two threaded holes. one in the center & another one is offset. by using the offset hole, it gave me another inch, for a total of about 3.5" it's much more "user friendly" now. sellersrodshop [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] old hickory, Tennessee   Posted by hotrodgene  -  09/05/2007 05:13 PM Thanks for all suggestions and sellersrodshop I did check my pedal and it does have two mounting holes and by moving to other hole it gave me about 1"more clearance which was a big help.Again thank you: Gene Riffe [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Saint Petersburg, Florida
