What do you guys suggest for moving the pedals closer?
I want to sit a little more upright but then I am little too close the the wheel.... I'd like to move the pedals towards the seat a little and in the process get the brake and gas pedals in a better position for heel toe. Anyone here tackle this already? |

You will have a tough time getting the brake pedal actuator rod geometry correct. You will need to find a source for a longer rod (unless there is a trick I haven't heard of....which is possible) to correct the geometry. Or, you can just get a gas pedal cover from Sparco (or similar) with an extension for heel toe that will thicken the gas pedal about 1/4" and give you a "wing" that sticks towards the brake pedal to make it easier to reach. That may be the cheap/easy solution. Try www.ogracing.com for pedal covers (and many others have them as well).
