Wilwood Pedal Mods for Tall Drivers

[Straversi]

I'd like to modify my Wilwood pedals for max leg room. I have the FFR supplied Wilwood pedals and the Forte hydraulic clutch kit which also comes with a Wilwood master cylinder. Wilwood tech support offers no suggestions. Is there a thread on this already? Any suggestions?

Hi Steve,

I cut the last 1/2" off the thread protruding from the master cylinders (the part that threads into the pedal) and screw the plunger all the way into the pedal turnbuckle and that adds ~2 inches of additional leg room.

I'm looking for a pic...

EDIT: found one...



You will see that I completely removed the capture nut but with the MKIV setup - which is slightly different than this Forte's supplied MKIII pedal bracket - you can leave a nut on there to snug up to the pedal turnbuckle.

HTH,

Thanks. I had trimmed the threaded rods 1/2" but had not screwed them in all the way. That's perfect. I'll do the same when I install the clutch master cylinder. Hydraulic clutch was a late addition to the build sheet. Just arrived yesterday.
