Footspace

[RonKahn]

Sorry to reopen this thread, but I am in the middle of building a CR1, and the food space is horrible. I have already reworked the clutch and brake pedals to be much better, but still no room to the left or right. So, in the process to cut the right frame member of the driver under the tunnel and move it 2" closer to my SBF and T5, plenty of room for that. Then will rework the glass to gice much more leg and foot room on the right side. Will also move over the fuel pedal but wont do that till the pervious is all done and the interior is done. Then I will know exactly where i want the fuel pedal.

As for the room on the left side of the clutch, I read that some of you have altered the left fram member after the cowl support by angling it some and then "rebox" the glass wall to be closer to the inside of the body. I might then be able to have a dead pedal next to the clutch. That would be nice. I see maybe 3 3/4 of extra room, but someone stated over 6" of room gained? I dont have that much room on the left side from the box to the inside of the body to gain that much. Like I said, I can easily get 3 3/4", which would be enough for me.

Last question, is dropping the foot box. I already dropped the seat pans about 3" because i am tall from my waist to my head, so I was looking out the upper portion of the windshield until I lowered the pans. I dont like the "angled" fiberglass seat pan in front of the seat, and plan to just make that pan flat all the way across from front to back and side to side. My question is did any of you also lower the foot pan, not the seat pan, LOWER that than the frame member? I assume the pipes would hide it so not worried about it.

Thoughts?
