    Wilwood clutch pedal extension

    Hoping someone out their can help. Just purchased a FF MK 3 cobra. It has the wilwood pedal box. Previous owner was 6'4 . I I an 5 6 and in order to get full clutch travel. I have to move the seat until the steering wheel is uncomfortable close. Tried a pedal pad extension made for the sn 95 setup but the wilwood pedal is larger. Anyone know of something out their besides a block of wood and a band clamp. Thanks

    Is the clutch hydraulic or cable actuated? If you're not sure, it's easy to see whether there's a cable coming out of the driver's side footbox in the engine compartment. If it's hydraulic, easy enough to adjust the pedal position via the clevis on the clutch master cylinder.

    Does your Mk3 have an access panel on the top of the driver's side footbox? I don't think it was standard then, but maybe the builder installed one. Would be good to post pictures of what you have in there. That would help to know how to answer. Wilwood pedal boxes weren't real common with the Mk3. You're positive that's what you have?

    Would the acess panel be riveted ?

    Not typically. Normally held with screws or whatever. This isn't the best picture since it's an early Mk4. But in the area where the hole is.



    Like I said, pretty sure they weren't normal on a Mk3. But the builder might have installed one if there's really a Wilwood pedal box in there. Is there a brake master cylinder on the outside of the pedal box (e.g. visible from the engine compartment) or are there two master cylinders that you can only see by looking up inside the pedal box? The later would be Wilwood for sure. Otherwise, maybe not. Pictures if you could post them would really help. Otherwise we're all kind of guessing.
