Brake Pedal Height Adjustment?

[newbert]

Is it possible to adjust the height of the brake pedal on an F3?

I have the stock pegs and find that I need to raise my toes a bit more than is comfortable before moving my foot onto the brake pedal. I'd prefer that I could just slide the foot a bit to the left while on the peg in order to access the brake pedal (rather than raising the foot before moving it onto the pedal).

So, is it possible to make some sort of adjustment to accomplish this?

Thanks!

This is the way I modified my wife's F3 Ltd. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?95898-F3-brake-link-rod-mod

Drill a hole 1/2" behind the hole on the front end of the brake rod. I posted pics on how I did mine at the beginning of this year.
It made my brake pedal easy to reach.

There are a lot of threads on this with a number of solutions, as Siny says, Newbert. Unfortunately, they are scattered across the site. It's worth having a search. Some have cut and welded the rod etc, but you have to be careful that you don't lower the pedal too far as it may prevent the pedal from going forward full distance.

My solution cost me nothing, as a byproduct of going with Lamont's RIP boards for my big feet. The RIP boards change the angle of your feet and allow you to leave your heel on the board while accessing the brake.:thumbup:

I did something much more simple. I drilled a hole (same size as the existing) closer to the yoke which moved the pedal about 3/4" lower and I got an extended brake pedal pad. I can ride with my foot on the brake without tripping the brake lights. To stop, just push. Tap to kill cruise. This relieved the pain I once got in my leg from raising my whole leg to hit the brake and I don't need to pigeon toe to actually hit the rubber. Fine tuning of the height is accomplished with washers between the steel brake pedal and the rubber. I needed to get longer bolts because I put three washers under the rubber. I have 500 or so M6 bolts so not a problem. BTW - the pedal does not raise to its former level, but stays down where you put it with this method. Can't speak for other methods.
