Dwarf Wanted

Preferably with basic mechanical skills. Nothing too tricky - I just need to adjust my pedal linkages. The frustrating thing is that I can just about reach them with one finger but can't adjust them without removing the dash and steering wheel (which I will probably end up doing)

All interested applicants please apply here - dwarf sized beer tokens available





Cheers,
Raz

I've always had problems changing cables and could never quite get at the pedals.

I knew this would be a problem with the build so I rivnutted the scuttle panel to make for easy access. Good job too, as I snapped my first clutch cable.

Sounds ideal! I hope you've got a big Jiffy bag - the type with air holes of course

When fitting a new throttle cable to my old Indy, I ended up with my legs dangling over the rollbar and the back of my head on the floor looking up at the pedals.

Hurt a bit, but needs must.

I cut the tray above the pedals and Rivnutted it down.
I just fixed a bit of Angle to support the loose end, and secured with Rivnuts. Its a bit of a tug to pull out, but isnt too difficult. Its a darn sight easier than trying to work upside down on your back and over your head in a confined space. I'm 5' 10" and not 20 Stone I just cant get in there to do it.

That Spencer's got some talent!! Did confused by his choice of pedal placement though for his paws?? Placement seems to look more human like?
