Forgive my ignorance guys, only ever having owned a left hooker 964, but do RHD 964's have a left foot rest?

I'm prowling, prowling looking for the right car, and assumed they don't (my old '84 Carrera RHD, rest it's sole, didn't), and I have to have a rest for my arthritic left ankle.

Incase you're interested, it ended up in a ditch, sad, but the insurance payout plus a bit let me purchase a '91 RSL. Don't own that anymore



Thanks in advance

My 964 RHD does not have a left foot rest.

Would be great to have one, but I dont think there is any room

Early ones had it between clutch and brake. Later ones between clutch and centre tunnel.

Cheers guys, might make a right hooker just dooable

I believe that you can swap the complete pedal box to the later version to give you a little space for the footrest on the left but it is very small compared to the LHD set up. Only people with tiny feet need apply to use it! However, the expense and hassle is not necessary IMO. It only takes a small time to adjust to the normal set up shown in John's photo above. For normal driving I rest my left foot underneath the clutch pedal and then rest it on the pad to the right of it (again see John's pic above) when motorway cruising.

no clutch rest.

When I was looking for a 964 (4 years ago) I drove a C4 and it didn't have a foot rest. I then drove a couple of C2s and both of these had foot rests. My 964 is an October '92 build and of course has one and I assumed that it was only the C4s that didn't have a foot rest. Then a mate of mine bought a '93 late build and... it doesn't have a footrest. Pic of my setup attached. It would be interesting to know Porsche's logic in this matter.

my TIP does

OK, looking again, my motorcycle mangled ankle is unlikely to allow me to drive a right hooker.

Rob, great head-on photo, thanks

John B, photo looks interesting, but looking at Rob's, it's as I originally thought, I don't have enough movement to get my ankle under, or squeeze to the side of, the pedal box.

mine has this IIRC it's called the turbo pedal set.

be careful as it makes wearing slightly wide shoes a bit precarious.
