Snug? Comfortable? Contorted?

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.

mine is definately an acceletator peddal and has got a foot rest most of the way down so I may chop the end off. This will allow me to move the pedal slightly further away and still get full cable movement at the engine end.

Looks like you have the adjustable column so you could always push the lever down and pull the steering wheel towards you?

Doh thought I had found an easy solution! Like the others said tho, it's only a guide, we all come in different shapes and sizes so just adjust bits to suit
