Heel-toe

[Guest rusty]

I do it al the time with my size nines comes from the old days rallying Cooper Ss, don't know how you size 13s manage to get both feet in the foot well.

[Guest Battery Bill]

don't know how you size 13s manage to get both feet in the foot well.

 

By making the Footwell wide and long enough for us to fit in.

ie

front part of the tunnel positioned as close to the gearbox as possible,

Front foot panel bent the opposite way to RHs so we gain an inch or two there,

Bending the pedal mounting panel to move the pedals forward a bit,

Not fitting the servo (Not needed)

Cutting and welding the pedals to make them as far apart as possible

And raising the steering wheel

Oh yes and wearing very narrow training shoes when driving

[Guest docter fox]

I just wear smaller shoes

[Guest salty_monk]

Yes I do it, blip the throttle, heel & toe. Most of the time in most cars.

 

I actually find my size 7/8 plates are too small & need to move the two pedals closer together, same in most cars!! I manage though.

7/8?!?! Those are girls' sizes!!!! I'm surprised you can heel/toe in high heels

[Guest docter fox]

I was about that at the age of 9

[Guest tom2b]

7/8 sure there not your weekend high heels?

 

I have to double de clutch in my dads 1936 Austin 7 and the farms 1953 T20 else you cant change gear atall! Actually the tractor has synchro between 3rd to 4th but not back down.

[Guest Nishka]

Whats wrong with size 8s, it must surely depend on your height?

 

If you are 5'0" and have size 14 you would look out of propotion? (no offence to anyone who is 5'0" with size 14s)

 

Then again at 6'2" my size 8s may be a little small!!!

[Guest docter fox]

I admit 5 foot and size 14 would look odd but he'd be a sturdy lil fellow do you have to stay inside when there's a strong breeze about?

[Guest Nishka]

No on windy days I wear size 12s and 6 pairs of socks! Keeps ye feet warm.

[Guest docter fox]

We did all of those too. The accelerator is even kinked so its between the chassis tubes, a couple of mm from the side pannel!

 

Now on the second 2B the LT77 gearbox has a very shallow bellhousing and the gearbox casing covers the gears with no wasted space. There is so much space with an LT77 as well as 3 nicely spaced peddles for my size 12s I can even fit in a foot rest for my left foot to the side of the clutch!
