For Those With Large Feet and Small Pedals

Post by Henry K. Lee » Sat Mar 23, 2019 7:32 pm

Dave had a special request on some items for his Speedster. When he told me he had a size 14 shoe and small early pedals..., WHAT? So back to the cob webs from years past in an adapter which works very well. My own cars all have 26/27 modified pedals for safety and comfort.

Two machine screws attach and lock it to the pedal pass the inverted diamond and the set screw holds it tight pass the curve preventing movement. Will paint black and spray the fronts with bed liner black for a good grip. Just made from old plate steel. Yes there is a left and right.

Nice job Hank ! Now if he wears pointy-toed shoes, reverse won't be a problem either ! :lol:

I have found it also helps to wear narrow running shoes rather than work shoes when driving.
Technology, the solution to all of our problems... and the cause of most of them.

Pointy toe shoes/boots are great for Model T reverse pedals and gittin' them caca-roaches in the corners!

Cheers,
Dave
