Dead Pedal

[OhBuoy]

Anyone put a dead pedal in their B&B? If so, post pics!!!

Sorry, I'm not building a B+B but what I'm working on may or may not help, depending on whether you're running an automatic trans. I'm building a CMC cobra and after sitting in a Street Beast Cobra I wanted someplace to put my left foot. I'm running an automatic transmission so I mounted up a pedal assy. from a man. trans. with a clutch pedal and I mounted a bracket so the clutch pedal is now fixed in a comfortable position. Because of the offset of the pedal cluster it looks like my foot will ride against the left footwell. It also throws off people looking to see if its a 4-speed. I'm planning on running a Lokar shifter turned around 180 degrees so it looks like an original top loader.
Hope this helps.

Hi: As far as you are concerned, which Cobra product has the widest foot well? I sat in a Superformance and noticed no place for my left foot to rest. I'm considering a Cobra as a daily driver rather than as a racer, so a dead pedal will be essential. I'm leaning toward a 5 spd. trans.
thanks,
Larry

What you dont like your legs flying around down there? I would make one out of fiberglass attached to the body so it could be cut out when you find their is no room left. my 2cents. Oh , you need some new pictures Ohbouy.

you have a 5 point harness right?

[OhBuoy]

Yes, I have a 5 point harness. Leg just gets a little tired after a while. I can find spots for it, but a dead pedal would be more convenient.

No room for a dead pedal with a clutch. Both the B&B I had and my current car have enough room for me to bring my left leg back to a 90 degree angle. Very comfortable.
