Default pedal adjustment

Bob,
Any way to move the pedal closer to the driver in the 289FIA? Took the car out this weekend and when my wife tried to drive it with the seat all the way forward she couldn't get enough pressure on the clutch to work it I'm 5'10" and usually drive with the seat in the most forward position anyway and she is only 5' 2". I know that I should be glad that she can't compete for driving time on the FIA, but I can't afford another "sports" car for her right now!

Page 81 in my manual (or look in the index: Brakes>Pedal height) covers adjusting the pedal height.

Bob,

You guys have the very best manual I've seen and as usual the answer to most questions is right there. Just another reason I'll be ordering an ERA when my pile of money gets to the right height.

Mike

Either that or strap a block of wood to the clutch pedal

Thanks Bob. I don't know how many times I looked in my copy and still missed it.

Or trader her in for one with longer legs.
