Has anyone shortened the accelerator pedal? It seems to be designed for size 15 shoes
I had to shorten the throttle pedal as Nathan sent me the wrong one! (I think he accidentally sent me a Sierra clutch pedal instead).
I ended up chopping a section out of the pedal above the pivot and welding it in below the pivot so I didn't end up with a ridiculously long pedal travel.

For the handbrake I remodelled it with an angry grinder and re-welded it so that it sits on the passenger side of the tunnel rather than the drivers side, giving me a bit of space to rest my arm.

The only thing I'm not really happy with now is the gear stick position which is too far forward, but a bit of chopping about and welding like deezee's suggestion should sort that out.
