Anyone making lever extenders or reverse pedal extenders?

Post by classicnvintage1 » Mon Mar 30, 2020 8:45 am

Hi Guys,

I would quite like to contact anyone who is able to supply a few handbrake lever extenders or a few reverse pedal extenders. Please message me.

Tom Strickling from New Philadelphia Ohio, USA, makes the pedal extenders.
All the vendors sell them. I think they're around $35. Very usefull.

Antique T Motorsports sells the brake lever extensions through their ebay store.

I’m 6’-3”, 225 lbs. With my long legs, that pedal extender would render the reverse pedal useless to me. It’s hard enough for me to use the pedals without the steering wheel getting in the way of my knees. With my big feet, I’m just grateful I have a ‘26 coupe, equipped with the wider brake and clutch pedals. Jim Patrick

I have one, I think I got it from Langs or Chaffins... it's a cast aluminum piece, and actually makes the old style pedals a little more intuitive, as you can index your C and B feet off the sides of the reverse extender... Since I don't spend that time going backwards (looking backwards, sure, but going backwards, not so much) it's not that big a deal.
