Moving the pedal box backwards?

[jps]

Any advice on whether this will present any problems? As my chassis is to fit an MT75 box the footwells get rather narrow. I've got a narrow pedal box in component form - but from looking at the main plate the pedal spacing seems far too close for my feet to actually operate them!!!

Is there any pitfall to using the wider (book design) pedal box and just positioning it further back in the footwell. I guess i'd need a plate going to the front panel that supports the steering column - is there anything else to consider?

don't see why not as long as you are not vertically challenged

I'm around 190 cm high and I need to set the seat to about 10 cm from the furthest back position. So moving the pedal box closer is definitely an option.

Cheers - exactly what I was suspecting...

I know that really i need to get a plank of wood in as a floor, stick in a seat and mock it up - but it did seem like there was a lot of length to play with.

As always - thanks guys!!

You may be better making a bespoke pedal box to suit your needs out of one piece of 3mm plate.

I am 6ft 2 and could not get comfortable in Spuds car and he is 6ft 7.

I am not sure exactly how much space there is but it appears I can nick about two inches of gear tunnel by box forming the panel next to the pedal box, that will allow me to spread the pedals a bit. If there is space between the bellhousing and the gear tunnel why not use it?
