Long story short, got a 993 (new to me), getting it prepped for the Glen with parts from the last one (brakes, fluid, seats, roll bar, etc), but just realized I forgot about the pedals. I had a Wings Engineering pedal I forgot to take off the last car (not accessible now). Any ideas? Leaving day after tomorrow for the Glen.

 

what is wrong with the standard pedals?

 

I've found that with driving shoes it is really hard to roll over and do heel/toe, between the narrow pedal, relatively large gap, and differential in height.

 

I have a Vosstek pedal that I could sell to you and ship via FedEx. Its the same one listed here: http://www.betterbodiesmotorsport.co...ackpedals.html

$50 for just the gas pedal, plus actual shipping charges. I'd estimate about $25 to ship overnight. I would ship it tomorrow for AM delivery on Thursday.

 

Do any of the cheap aftermarket clamp-on pedal covers fit on the 993 accel pedal?
May have to drill hole in pedal to custom fit the pedal cover.
Ones I've seen in KMart/WalMart have the wing on the left side.
If you don't trust the clamping of the pedal, get a large hose clamp and use that to fully secure the pedal cover to the pedal.


Does site sponsor 'pedalpusher' have any he can ship to you pronto?

I like the Rennline pedals, I've had them in the Turtle for a few years now (simple rubber grip, not the ultra adjustable thingie).

 

On the 993 I think you can adjust the height of the brake pedal so it's not so high. That was all I needed on my 911 and 930, but I can't remember of the pedal spacing is different on the 993.

 

Quick. Cheap. Effective.

Use wooden door/window shims where thickness adjustment is accomplished by pushing /pulling thin ends together/apart thereby increasing/decreasing thickness. Once you have the gas and brake peddles on plain, glue with wood glue and clamp over night. Adjust for exact fit with wood plane after glue hardens. Attach with zip ties. Five dollars. And it looks no worse than those over-priced bling-bling cheapo aluminum things.

 

does that pass tech???? wood?

 

I thought the wood block was to be slipped UNDER the loud pedal to limit max revs.

 

Yep, you can adjust the height of the pedals on all 911s with floor hinged pedals. Just be certain to take care of the brake light switch so your brake light isn't always illuminated.

 

As its too late at this point, I thought I'd share what I ended up doing some time ago. Simple, easy and very very effective.

 

Sorry, I forgot I posted this in the race and not the 993 board. Thanks for the offer, Chris. My bad. I did remember that my route to WG takes me not too far from Driving Innovations or whatever they are called in Dover, so I'll stop by and pick up something cheap. I did call the insurance yard and they are going to pull the Wings pedal I had so I'll have that one for the next event.

Thanks guys. If the cheapo pedal from DI doesn't work, I'll probably resort to wood and zip/hose clamps as well. I've never had much luck on the pedal adjustment path for some reason.

 

You can also benefit from removing the shiny rubber cover from the brake pedal and replacing it with grip-tape (like you'd see on a skateboard) stuck directly onto the raw pedal surface. Makes an amazing improvement in traction for your racing shoe on the brake pedal, which gives you the confidence to roll you foot over more to reach the gas pedal. Cheap and effective. You can replace the grip tape once a year to make sure it stays fresh.

 

Here it is.
