Pedal position?

So the standard Pedal position on the TVR is BAD! (Part of the character apparently... I just think its terrible design!)

The clutch pedal is to the right of centre and the brake and loud pedal are at the same height....

So your left leg is always pushed across at an angle, and there is no hope in hells chance of doing any heal toe!!

I am quite tempted to remove the pedal box and add some extentions/bends to the pedals to move the clutch left a bit, and perhaps bring the brake pedal out more so I can heal toe..


But... are there any drawings/explanations that suggest the "optimum" relative position for pedals?

Is it the norm for the brake pedal to be higher than the loud pedal so that the brake and acc are level as the brake bite point is reached?


Thought appreciated! Getting the pedal box out is going to be a nightmare, so I only want to do this once!

on our chimaera the footpad part of the pedals were on long threaded studs with locknuts.Didnt alter side to side but obviously the individual heights could be customised.
