Default Re: Touchy Accelerator

We’ll have to experiment with the wood block solution. Any suggestions on a starting point for the height of a footrest? I always felt that footrest that was in this car was too high no matter what I did. First, it was because when they made the replacement floorboard, they never drilled the hole for the footrest stud to go through. I drilled that out and lowered the rest all the way down to the jam nut and it was still too high. Then I removed the jam nut and just bottomed the threads out on the bracket and it was acceptable for me to drive it but he was still having problems with it. I would guess at its lowest point this rest was still 1” to 1-1/4” high off the floor. I doubt if it is original or even an accurate reproduction.
