Default Pedal placement

My brake pedal is to close to the gas and makes me hit both at the same time and the clutch pedal is down to my heel. How can i fix these issues? Are there adjustments?

You may have to wait more then 45mins to get a answer on a particular topic. I don't believe you can adjust them without a decent amount of custom fab work. The pedals on a fox were designed for better heel toe action. I have never had a problem with hitting multiple pedals with size 13 steel toe boots, do you have big feet? lol

This form is usually quick on the draw and I have limited time on here right now. I to wear a 13 wide and have problems. I was thinking about cutting the clutch and moving it up and rewelding it or making multiple bolt holes and just bending over the brake.

I have size 13 boots so I can relate but I don't have to much problem unless I'm climbing my big footed fat *** into a Fiero. My suggestion would be to pull the pedal assembly out and heat the clutch pedal arm and bend it slightly to the left about an inch. Id heat the bottom of the arm and level the pedal out. Id the heat the brake arm the same way and move it about 3/4 of an inch to the left and level the pedal so they don't look angled in the car. that small amount makes a big differance in the car. Don't try this in the car.
