Default Wings heel n' toe pedals?

Guys,

I have trouble heel n' toeing in the 993, everyone recommends the wings enginneering pedals, only really need the gas pedal. Where do we buy these and do they sell only the gas pedal?

AG,

You can heel/toe perfectly fine with the regular pedals. If you want pedals for the look, that's one thing. But if you really just want to heel/toe, all you need to do is remove the floorboard under the pedals and adjust the height of the gas pedal relative to the brake's height. I did this years ago when I bought the car; it takes a couple of tries to get it right where you want it, then it's perfect.

AG,

Isn't that a lot of work... For an easier solution, I placed my new accelerator pedal on top of the old one. It looks fine, you can't see the original.. and the pedals are now "shimmed" for the right height..

Take off floor mat, unscrew floorboard, pull off gas pedal (simly snaps off), adjust threaded barrel, drive. Come back and adjust barrel again, if necessary. I got it on the 2nd try. Not bad, really. And you have the more "balanced" look of all OE pedals (this last point is IMHO, of course).

Gee, my method required no mods - I just trained my foot to work the existing pedals.
