THESE BOLTS ARE HOLDING THE BODY TO THE FRAME. NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PEDAL BOX.

For those with long legs, I wonder if some owners might drill extra holes to move the pedals even further forward, and fit shorter throw master cylinders (or change the pivot ratios).
No. The four bolts/nuts that can be seen hanging below the pedal box. Remove them, slide the box backward with pedals and masters to a rearward hole position and re-bolt. You've just changed the pedals for a shorter person. I'm 5' 10" without shoes and I've set mine at the most forward position. I've drilled extra holes so I can make 1" incremental adjustments rearwards. Stock adjustment is 2" increments.

As shown in Russ's car the pedal box is in the most forward position and that is max. You cannot change that to get more leg room. It can only be moved
rearward as I have explained in the previous paragraph.

Take a look at my cobra build photos by clicking on Lal Naja along side my avitar above. In my Profile/Albums you will see the pedal box. perhaps you will help.
