Large Pedal Extensions

Hi!

Following on from the 70 sets of my pedal plugs I've supplied to you lot, I've come up with a new way of paying for super-unleaded. After a few months testing including 2000 miles and 4 trackdays, I am happy to offer my new larger pedal extensions:

The body is curved to provide a much larger contact point for your foot, meaning much more comfortable and even easier to heel-and-toe. I'm supplying with black grip tape  (skateboard stuff, so decent)

The back has a marker for drilling a small hole to fit a self-tapper for increased anti-rotation.

where the drill hole is to be put the plastic is heavily reinforced

I'm doing these for 40quid+6p&p and can do any usual colour, but honestly, just buy some skateboard griptape of your wanted colour.

any questions?

everything on http://uberniche.co.uk as usual

cheers! J

Brilliant!

I always end up fitting a bespoke pedal extension that presents in much the same way.  This does the job with much less faffing.

But surely you need a smooth - rather than a friction - surface, to allow smooth modulation?

Next time I get a new Caterham, I'll also be buying one of these!

interesting point. maybe I'll try it without. I'm just printing one off now so I can have nice pictures of one that isn't 2000 miles in and not the a mishmash of colours :D

The skateboard tape is great on the clutch and brake pedals, meaning you can ditch the OE rubbers, but the throttle would be better smooth

Perfect - I've been looking for something like this for ages. Currently have a bit of bent aluminium which is OK but hard to get firmly attached.

Winging it's way to you today Shaun! I'll skip the grip tape as it does seem unneeded. J

Great - thanks John. Won't be able to fit it for a while as the car is off to PGM tomorrow but once I get the car back, will try it out.

HI John - couple of questions : what is the increase in width of the new pedal outside the standard? Could it be metal printed rather than plastic?

Thanks!

on the left side of the pedal it can be 10-30mm wider. on the right it's 8mm

in theory it could be printed in metal. it would be extremely expensive. you'd be better getting something custom welded.
