Brake Pedal Swap
I was wondering if the pins on the brake pedals are the same for manual or automatic? I have freakin big feet and cant really get to WOT when at the track, unless I tippy toe it. So I figured that maybe the smaller brake pedal from a Stick car would help me to actually push on the pedal with my whole foot. Also what brake pedals will work or am I limited to third gens?
Thanks,

The brake pedal on manual cars is smaller, but the edge is no further from the gas pedal than on an automatic car.

My bad... Your right.... How about bending it? But I think the metal would be too hard, plus it would be weaker...
Then again. Is the brake pedal in the same location where it mounts on the top? This sucks... I wish someone around here had a stick. Anyone got pics of the mounting positions?
Lates,

Everything up top is the same. You could try cutting it and welding a piece in to move it over to the side.
