Luxury locost

Due to the gearbox i am using, i dont have much room for size 13 shoes so i thought id do something about it.

I give you...

[drum roll]

...a place for my left foot

Foot rest
Foot rest


It goes round the bell housing and has made quite a lot more room but took me 6 hours to fabricate





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

No its manual. The clutch master cylinder is mounted above the pedal

good work! I dont have size 13's and it annoys me that I have no where to put my left foot. I'm thinking of leaving it at home and operating the clutch with a long stick.

Have been thinking about what to do with my left foot too and something like this with a wedge taken out, but I really like what you have done here, may have to copy!

I've been wondering about a length of Al angle popped to the floor as a 'heel stop'
Anyone done something like that?
My setup is slightly different - only two pedals and I brake with the left foot.
