Great Heel-n-Toe set up

Post by MD »

OK it's my turn to sponge some ideas.

Who's got a great heel_n_toe brake and throttle set up?
I have tried various combos none of which I can say are just perfect.

Photos are a must for obvious reasons.

Cheers, MD

I had to do some work with pedal pads on the 105 but I find the gtv6 is fine. 105 needed an extended (ie lower and closer to brake pedal) throttle pad and to adjust the levels so that the throttle was just below the brake pedal in use. Will check for photos (car will be at MP this weekend if you are in the neighbourhood).

Md , check pg 1 of the imsa 75 pics . That was the best accelerator peddle shape ever for heel toe.

I make do with my road car with almost the original set up. The main difference is the turning ratio of the throttle body butterfly shaft that is fully open in about 3/5ths of the original throttle travel distance.
For a problematic reason, I cannot do the same on the race car which is part of the problem.

Kevin,
Believe it or not, I have already had a similar (but not identical) experimental setup so Ithink I will more than likely continue to refine that approach. I also need to come up with a 1 to 2 turning ratio of the butterflies so my throttle travel doesn't have to go to the moon and back from zero to full throttle. Got a major fitting issue with this requirement.

Both excellent suggestions. Thank you.
Adapting the plastic pedal would be no problem at all.
