Installed drivers seat today, and moved seat all the way to rear - comes ri=
ght up to rear shelf on slider - good. I am 6'0" tall.=C2=A0 Concern is the=
 amount of room between knees, stock steering wheel (15.3"), right knee to =
shift lever and the foot pedals.=C2=A0 With the clutch pushed in there is s=
till about 8" left to the firewall with about 11" from brake pedal and the =
accelerator pedals to the firewall.
Do we really have this much wasted foot well room from the end of the pedal=
s to the firewall?=C2=A0 The brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are abou=
t even in the foot well with the clutch about 1" further 'out' than the oth=
er 2.

Findings:=C2=A0 Both the brake and clutch pedal have the same casting numbe=
r of 1990300 but with different bends entirely.=C2=A0 This seams unusual.=
=C2=A0 The Clutch bends to the left with only 1 available hole connecting t=
o the pedal bracket.=C2=A0 The brake bends slightly to the right with 2 hol=
es available connecting to the pedal bracket.=C2=A0 Both brackets look to b=
e the same.

Spacers at the master cylinders:=C2=A0 brake master has spacer between mast=
er and firewall.=C2=A0 Clutch master does not have spacer due to brake rese=
rvoir slightly to one side closest to clutch reservoir, so no spacer or the=
 clutch master reservoir would contact brake master reservoir and would not=
 bolt up..
I see all this wasted foot well space and now wonder if I have the right pe=
dals, brackets etc for this car.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
RegardsJoel Martin
