    Default Brake pedal 4 inchs

    Hello everyone !!

    I installed as can be several, on my RT the brake pedal which is very small.

    Because I have a problem with my right foot. (lot of osteoarthritis)

    But once installed, it was no longer possible to put my foot under the 4-inch pedal.

    I solved the problem simply by installing an aluminum block (it can be plastic or hardwood)

    the size of the block = 1''1/4 x 1''1/4 x 2'' inchs length, I drill holes in the block, and buy longer bolt, and a bit of loctite on tread.

    Now I can have a comfortable position these SUPER.

    A picture is worth a thousand words. There have been a number of threads about having to lift the braking foot. Have you solved this vexing problem?????

    Default Let's see....

    I see from pic and profile you are on a RT. So must involve the floor board and brake issue... pic would clear up things for those that are not getting what is going on. Glad you found a solution to your problem. I also have issues with my right foot but only needed to widen the pedal .....20160125_091712.jpg granted mine is an RS with pegs...

    NOT to sound " snarky " …. But " I installed as can be several " - what does this mean ?????? ……… Also I see you have " floor boards " … with this New 4 inch brake pedal, can you COMPLETELY depress the pedal ???? …………………..Mike

    There is currently two threads on this topic. DIY https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/...67-Brake-Pedaland now RT (this site) Can we make both link together on R because this is dealing with RT specific brake pedal.

    I do not have a picture to show you, I had to try several hardwood block height before finding the right thickness for my foot.
    I have the aluminum block that I will install in the spring I will take pictures.
    To lift the foot, I find that these not more complicated, when you're in your car and you get up when you're on the cruise control to put the brake, I made 3000 kilometers from the end of July until I put it back for the winter.
    the arthosis of my big toe I have no more pain.
    Later for photos probably, it's winter in Canada and these very cold now.
    Thank you for your comment.

    Yes there is another similar post, I look on the site if there was a subject like the one I posted, but it is loing I did not see the date, it would not have come on the first page , and I would not have had any comments.
    As I was in the mechanics and development of industrial machinery, I had the idea to lift the pedal to have a position to do the road.
