Haven't seen many pics installed in a 914, but remember seeing them in catalogs way back when they had printed catalogs, lol. Show me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Jeff is egging me on to get moving forward with this. I got my seat mounted in the car and can start to get a feel for where this needs to be. Chris Foley's & the GT car dead pedal looks to be in the right spot for oh shit moments. But looking at Lawrence's pedal (the carpet) you can see where the foot normally rests for regular use. Which is lower and more to the left.
I could do a small pedal and weld it in. I am thinking to make this cantilevered out past the radius of the wheel tub just a touch. This would put the dead pedal a little closer to the clutch. My only worry that if i get it too close it is going to be a pain in the ass when driving around. i have wide feet/shoes so I better think about it. Then What to do with the area between the line cover pedal described above. I could just run without carpet and put some skateboard grip tape on the area. Or I could try to do some sort of transition piece between the cover and the dead pedal. I am thinking less is more here. Attached image(s) |
