You need to mount them above the top rail and then shorten them to fit your feet.

MANY THANKS FOR COMING BACK SO FAST
DO YOU NOT MEAN LENGTHEN TO SUIT THE FEET?

I had to lengthen mine on my first attempt but didn't like the driving position so made some floor mounted jobbies.

buy or make a set of floor mounted pedals they take up less space
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Made my floor mounted pedals from large casters but take the wheel out, you are then left with a nice strong u shaped brackets!
Loads of pictures in my gallery, link below...

Don't know if you have been for IVA yet, but using bolts for the brake pedal and clevis pivots is frowned upon

What else would you use ? My pedals pivot on collars held to brackets with bolts.
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

Depends on whether it is a bolt or set screw, if you use a bolt with a plain shank the correct length to go all the way through the bracket there is
no problem.
I wouldn't use a set screw.

I assumed it would be a bolt, never occured to me that someone would use a machine screw. Never the less, I know someone who failed SVA on that.
Tester wanted a securing method such as a split pin rather than a nut.
Maybe varies from one tester to another.

Did the sva thing back in 2008, they are 12 ton bolts, double nut'd and marked with red paint.
No problems at sva at all but dont know about current regs.
