hello,
is it possible to adjust the position of the accelerator pedal or am I going to have to bend/cut/weld it ?
i used to have a mk1 in which the stock pedals position worked pretty well for heel and toe.
In my mk2.5 the accel is too far away from the brake to be able to reach with my little feet.
any experience or advice welcomed

I have the fabrication skills of a newborn baby so it will be easily messed up by me iirc, pedalboxes are interchangable from 1989-2005 so replacements are available cheaply, not a hard job to remove & replace (have one to change on a friends 1990 Eunos as it's neen 'RePaIrEd' by someone writing braille  - will take photos but won't be soon...)

Probably already exists on the market. +1 Something like this but with a tab/tongue that sticks out on the left of the accelerator pad? www.mx5parts.co.uk/aluminium-pedal-cover-mazda-mk2-25-p-2039.html |

FYI: This is precisely how the M2-1001 aluminium pedal covers are made and attached to the existing pedals.

I would love to but I don't have any of the required tools or skills. The moss pedal set will achieve the same thing |
