Footbox Fitment

One of the most important things you can do to make sure you enjoy your car is to make sure the fit and
comfort of the cockpit is right for you. While you still have easy access to the footboxes is the best time
to do this. Set the brake pedal height by screwing the pushrods in or out of the master cylinders, because
of the pedal pivot location a small adjustment will make a large difference. Set the pedal height of the
clutch with the stop and cable adjuster, usually about ½" above the brake pedal. Make sure that your
feet are comfortable on the pedals and you can press them all without hitting the others. You can also
move the steering wheel in and out to get your arms at a comfortable angle until the set screw is
tightened.
If you just can't get comfortable with the standard configuration some things you can do to increase
room or comfort include:
 Trim the pedal pads for more room between pedals.
 Cut down or remove altogether the gas pedal pad.
 Add a dead pedal to the outside footbox wall at clutch pedal height.
 Shim under the upper steering bearing to raise the steering wheel
 Use a smaller steering wheel
 Different shoes can make a large difference in foot room.
