Default Wings Engineering Heel Toe pedal

Does anyone know if this place is still around? Saw a pedal this weekend I liked, but no one seems to be at the number I have: Wings Engineering LLC, CT, USA, Tel 202-438 2222

Thoughts?

I believe that's it, but not sure. Did you give them a call? What did you find out.

That phone number looks like a Wash. DC area Nextel cell phone. Probably not a storefront operation.

Your right rick. I saw the CT and thought I read it as 203, which is a CT area code (I grew up in that area).

I don't think they've been answering for quite a while. I believe Sam N tried calling them about six months ago and received no answer.

Hey Kim,
I am selling one. I was going to wait until I tried it on the 944. If someone wants it I was asking 50.00 +shipping. First member to PM me gets it (If it does not fit the 944)

Just sent you one. Well, another one. I actually sent you one asking about it previously.

Thanks Kim.

You don't need one. Pull up the floorboard and adjust the pushrod length between the brake pad and the master cylinder. Totally described in the shop manual. Worked great for me.

Ray,
If I understand you, that helps with the vertical difference between the pedals, but not the horizontal difference. I can more or less (well, less) heel toe with street shoes given the current gap, but with racing shoes...doesn't even seem possible. Am I missing your point?

Could anyone post a pic of the Wings? If they've stopped producing perhaps my company could start!

Thanks
