Hi, I haven't been on here for ages, sorry to have missed you all.
I have just been reading an article on the RHD Crayford cars and really would appreciate a value for one. My car is a 1969 Crayford, in fact I understand it to be the first one ever. I've owned it for about 30 years and now am considering parting with it, but what's it worth? Attached thumbnail(s)

Question on the pedals....
Why didn't they just use the pedal box from a 1970 RHD 911? They were already setup correctly??? Clay |

QUOTE(ClayPerrine @ Mar 15 2021, 02:14 PM)  Question on the pedals.... Why didn't they just use the pedal box from a 1970 RHD 911? They were already setup correctly??? Clay it does sound sensible to just use the 911 pedal cluster. just my opinion, but ......porsche barely got it right with the pedals in the rhd 911s all the way through until the 964. (a lot of guys here wouldn't even accept their barely getting it right and did all sorts of mods to the pedals, particularly the clutch pedal to make it a little more comfortable doing that stretch to the clutch.) same goes for vw aircooleds, bugs and type 3. its ok driving the offset pedals in the LHD bugs, 911s and 914s. the clutch is almost straight in front and its natural to stretch your leg to the gas pedal as your not bending your knee, your rotating your ankle. the accelerator pedal ends up rotating in an arc over the side of the central tunnel. the 914 is where it gets beyond marginally acceptable as its wider, or the seats are certainly wider apart on the centre line of the car. if you use a RHD pedal cluster you are really perched with everything angled across with everything very close together in the clutch/brake pedal department. i think the pedals in the 911 fit into a tighter footwell. there is an RSR in the workshop here that the owner has, campaigned in the 70s in aus, i should take a photo of just how much those pedals got worked over to get them into an arrangement that was acceptable to the original race driver. i haven't mentioned the gear lever. you just get used to it and so does the passenger. |
