    Hot rod pedal positions

    There's a thread going on in Roadster.. and rather than jump in there (which may be completely different pedal setup, I don't know, I wanted to have the conversation here too.

    [Moderators feel free to merge/delete if that other thread is sufficient]

    Right now, I have a brand-new go-kart, so I haven't done much more than make it all work, but ergonomics are probably way off. My clutch and brake pedals are level, but quite high from chassis, so they don't hit. The standard carburetor throttle pedal that I'm using for now is way lower - 4-5" lower. That seems to agree with other thread in concept - "the throttle is forward of the brake" - but wasn't sure on the size of that gap.

    Does anyone have pictures of hotrod pedals on a well-setup driver that uses a clutch and carb-throttle? I understand the coyote, drive-by-wire could be quite different.
