you must have small feet !!! :P



OEM distance = 120 mm from the right border of brake pedal to center tunel

From Upper TAT brake pedal = 105 mm
From Lower TAT brake pedal = 115 mm

Hope this can help you to appreciate. At the top of your foot, its thiner.

It's just with my big feet (45 1/3 EU size / 10 1/2 UK) but enough.

Notice that at the lower corner, dimmensions is almost the same as OEM (115/120 mm).

It's just the "plates" on the end of the pedals. Screw off the current ones, transfer the rubber 'dimples' to the new Tat ones, screw the Tat ones on. Job done.

Prices are:

Option 1 : Pedale d'accelerateur seule : 21E livrée [accelerator only]
Option 2 : Pédale d'accélérateur + frein : 30E livrées [accelerator & brake]
Option 3 : pédale d'accélérateur + frein + embrayage : 38E livrées [all 3 pedals]


make your mind up quickly - Thierry is taking payments now thumbsup

bear in mind thats a VERY slim shoe - my work shoes are alot bigger than that (width wise) and catch on the brake pedal when coming of the accelerator as it is! :blush:

Do agree, H+T is not that easy...

In any case, As I saw it, I decided to reduce brake pedal optimisation to avoid any closing with center tunel.

So dim become :

From Upper TAT brake pedal = 115 mm
From Lower TAT brake pedal = 120 mm (As OEM)

I'm not so sure about the angled design. For my shoe size the best and only modification needed is a slightly wider accelerator pedal to move it about 1 cm nearer the brake pedal. I find the rest of the pedal layout perfect and would be concerned to use the proposed angled arrangement in anger - so to speak -

Just an idea that might be usefull to anyone making a set themselves or designing a set for sale.
I just did mine with a pair of sparco pedals I had laid about from years ago, they are just the curved ally type (not cast) with rubber pimples in them therefore ideal for the VX, but the point is I found that my big feet tend to use the very top of the original pedal, so I moved the pedal up as well as it being a bit wider and offset sligtly to the left to reduce gap to the brake pedal which is also a little wider and taller than standard. Didn't bother with clutch, not doing it to look good.
Now I dont have to try and twist my knackered old knee and the pedal height suits my foot size much better.

These are what I used

definitive design of brake pedal :

From Upper TAT brake pedal to center tunel = 110 mm
From Lower TAT brake pedal to center tunel = 120 mm (As OEM)

Due to still waiting for payment and necessary lead time for cutting and machining, pedals should be available for the end of June.

If you find a source for them, can you let me know please? Some of them are looking distinctly worn on my car (61,000 miles) and I'd like to replace them as part of this upgrade.

Cheers,
