Extended G25 pedals

[SimYouLater]

I have recently extended my g25 pedals to fit the length of my feet. My heel is now up against the angled part of the base and the bottom of the pedal arms, and the ball of my foot is centered in the middle of the foot plate. This gives me a little more travel in all of them but the brake pedal travel will decrease when my apelectrix pressure pot finally arrives. This also gives a nice feel to the motion of the pedal as it is moving in basically the same arc as the motion in my ankle. The ball of my feet are not sliding on the pedal plate as a result, rather than the way they were before due to the different lenghts in my feet and the much shorter pedal arm.

I will try offsetting the accellerator and clutch pedal plates to give more room between my feet and retain the original plastic pedal housing next. If there isn't enough room after that I may remove the housing and use some alloy plates to make it look like a floor mounted pedal box on a race car.

Has anyone else tried this in preference to inverting the pedals?

Got any photos?

Here's some, The plate behind is 10x32mm trimmed to 28mm in between the sides of the original arm, the one on the front is 3x25, and the gap between the two at the top is filled by 25x2. The top two bolts are threaded into the back plate, as is the large 6mm bolt at the bottom. I then used some 5x20mm plate to offset the cluth by 15mm and this moves the clutch pedal plate forward by a total of 8mm. The brake pedal plate is in the middle of the arm and spaced to a total of 8 mm to match the clutch. The accelerator plate has been offset 12mm to the right and bolts directly onto the 10mm plate. I have ground away some of the plastic on the back of the accellerator pedal to bring it as close to the pedal arm as possible.

Ive now added the AP electrix load sensor. The extra leverage due to the longer pedal works really nicely with this mod as the travel is about 1/3 of the travel of the standard pot setup. Having the longer pedal also increases the pedal travel again giving more feel. When the brake is depressed hard, the height is just nice for a heel and toe.

Note the clutch spring (unused brake spring now in clutch) inserted on the top of the load sensor. I found that this takes up the slack in the pedal due to slightly larger diameter holes in the load sensor than the original setup. The spring will stop the sensor being slightly on resting under its own weight, and also it has enough tension to allow you to rest your foot on the brake without applying it. This also made the brake feel more reaistic, with just a little freeplay before the pedal loads up on the sensor. I will need to mount this spring a little better but it is working fine at the moment.

It took a few sessions to get used to the feel of the sensor, but once I got the feeling of the old brake out of my head, and dialed ito the feeling of the new one I was really impressed with it. Threshold braking and trail braking on entry is much easier and feels more natural, and as a result I have found more consistency in my laptimes.
