In Adrian's book, he mentions a pedal "retrofit" option for RHD cars which apparently moves the pedals over to the right, thus creating the space for a foot rest to the left of the clutch pedal.

Has anybody with a RHD 964 seen/tried this?

CraigyB

I haven't but would be interested !

I thought the later 964s had these pedals as standard - so assume the retro-fit is fitting pedals from the later cars.

I found a thread where there is a reference to the pedals being re-designed for the 964 turbos.

Any RHD turbo owners out there who have space for a foot rest on the left of their clutch?

I'm 6' 3" so I don't struggle with the offset issue. The only niggle is where to put your foot when not using it. I've taken to sticking it between the pedals, which is actually quite comfortable, but impractical in traffic.

The rhd 964 turbo does indeed have a small footrest to the left of the clutch as standard. It's fine with my size 11's... you may struggle with big heavy shoes or boots though (may catch the clutch pedal).

The image shows my car in the showroom before I bought it and just after it arrived (hence the reason for the crappy presentation of the interior!)... but you can see quite clearly the footrest to the left of the clutch pedal.

My pedal arrangement is different to Megatrons as mine has a space between the clutch and the brake with a small flat footrest. I think if not original it was fitted to suit the previous owner.

DaveK

I think that is original - mine has that.

Anybody have a mod/retrofit that would increase the space between the pedals?

I am limited to narrow shoes (size 13 or 14's) in a RHD C4. I find the gap between the gas and brake pedals too close.

My 1991 c2 has the foot rest to the left of the clutch. Whether you can just swap over the pedal box and tweak a few things is another question...

ormy

Super - is this something you did, or did the car come like that when you bought it?

Just be careful - I find it much more difficult to heel & toe with the 'footrest to the left' setup than with it between clutch and brake.

Superunknown

It came like it when i bought it, so im guessing the design changed at some point.

I find that difficult anyway as I'm sure the instructor on a trackday training day last week will agree when I kept my foot on full throttle instead of blipping!

The pad in between the pedals is standard
- the new peddle box was introduce on the 2 and 4 in about 91 - at the same time as the top button release for the rear squab
- however, the whole plan was screwed by the recession in '90, the next two years cars sat in a field before they found buyers - as a result the new pedal box and the button update didn't really hit the UK market
- too much old stock lying around masquerading as new cars and then there was the 993

- and yes you can swap - I keep meaning to do it but there is always a new set of tyres or something
