Avon footwell dimentions please

Could someone be so kind as to measure the width of the footwell of the Avon exactly where your feet would go.

I remember sitting in a Cat years ago and there was no room for my big feet.

Thanks in advance

I do not have an Avon, but I found the foot well to be more than big enough for my size 12 feet. Just make sure you get the floor mounted pedal box, as it creates a fair bit more room down there!

I have the sierra pedal box and size 8.5 feet....
I have to wear the narrowest shoes I own and i can still only just work the pedals.....

It may be better with floor mounted pedals but with the standard sierra pedal box you have no hope!

Also be aware that it is probably the shortest footwell around so my knees touch the steering wheel...

(Im starting to plan a set of floor mounted pedals for the winter project...)

Just looked at the Avon book.

The lower footwell width is 275mm and the upper width is 285mm. The height is 330mm.

Hope this helps. I made my own floor mounted pedal box set up. photos in my album on here.
