Short Legs?
Any idea's for the females or even the gents with legs that need to be a little longer to comfortably reach the clutch? And, yes - the seat is allllllll the way forward ;)
Thnx tyfaim |
wood
A teacher I had, more than 2 decades ago, did attach wooden blocks on the pedals :)

Thanks Zig; Great idea that would do the trick but I need something esthetically please as well as functional.

Platform shoes, from the '60s :)
I'm probably the most vertically challanged member of this group, (just ask BIG BOB), I've used a pillow between me and the back of many a seat, doesn't show, and "makes my legs longer". |
Change the pedal locations. This can be done in a variety of ways, depending on what you currently have.
A few ideas: Cut and reshape the pedal arms. Mount a movable pedal box. Extend the pads on the pedals. You should be able to engineer something. It may involve metal fabrication, welding, etc. Now an adjustable pedal setup (for tall and short people) may take some extra engineering. |
Wayne vertically challanged???
Nah, he was howeverm the reason Randy Newman wrote his song....:3DSMILE: :3DSMILE: Hi Wayne.. Mike |
Mike, I owe you one.....let's see...You're lucky Randy Newman wrote his song about height, not girth.... :) :) |
sounds like you need the power adjustable petals that are available noe in new Ford Suv's and Trucks

Seat tracks
How about a seat track with greater travel. Hope this helps%/
|
Thanx Rodney,
Great idea. I know a really good fabricator that could make me a set if I don't find what I need from an other source. |
I would think a closer steering wheel is dangerous in a collision...Tyfaim should get the pedals moved, IMHO.

My wife would like to drive the Cobra but has trouble depressing the clutch pedal. Even with a pillow behind her, the clutch is too stiff.
She accuses me of doing that on purpose so she can't drive it!;) T |
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason Short People got no reason To live They got little hands Little eyes They walk around Tellin' great big lies They got little noses And tiny little teeth They wear platform shoes On their nasty little feet Well, I don't want no Short People Don't want no Short People Don't want no Short People `Round here Short People are just the same As you and I (A Fool Such As I) All men are brothers Until the day they die (It's A Wonderful World) Short People got nobody Short People got nobody Short People got nobody To love They got little baby legs That stand so low You got to pick 'em up Just to say hello They got little cars That go beep, beep, beep They got little voices Goin' peep, peep, peep They got grubby little fingers And dirty little minds They're gonna get you every time Well, I don't want no Short People Don't want no Short People Don't want no Short People 'Round here |
My "Sort Legs" saga has come to an end! Thank you Obus Forme back support!!!! Reaching the clutch is not longer an issue for me! My not so thrilled boyfriend "owner" of the cobra is not quite as tickled with my little solution as I. Hmmm.... Back to the drawing board for him to come up with the next 'road block' :)
