The pedal's adjustable as we all know and the clutch fully engages before hitting the floor, so you shouldn't need any new master/slave cylinder. You could move it to the traditional location. My legs are short and I've got problems with my ankle so I like to rest the left foot on the dead pedal, and just slide it over onto the clutch. I'll attached a picture after adjusting it back to a more traditional position. Gotta keep my reputation in tact here

Ankle problems or not, I'm NOT going to drive an Automatic... Yuk.

As for "bending" ERA Modified the footwells and the pedals to fit around the huge engine, much like they would for a 427 SOHC motor I bet. I have not altered them since they built the chassis.

Mr. Mustang,

I have 10.5 size shoes and can drive my ERA FIA very comfortably even with low cut hiking boots. Never an issue with hitting 2 at one time unless I want to.
That dead pedal looks too close and yes it looks as though the clutch pedal was bent out away from the brake pedal.

On the FIA I'm looking at the foot box was modified, it appears a little narrower which is why I'm attempting to get over FIA owners to post a similar picture for me to be able to compare them side by side. Would you be willing to take a shot tonight, try to duplicate the one at the beginning of this thread so I can see whether I will have room for my feet or not. I know on Marc's FIA (2112) I had no problem, but his was almost 1.5 inches wider than the one posted at the start of this thread. That 1.5 inches might make or break my ability to drive the car comfortably.
