Default Adjustable dead pedal?

Hello,

I'm looking for an adjustable dead pedal for my C8. So far, I haven't found anything. Anyone have a source before I go through the trouble of designing and machining my own.

Thanks,


Chris

Yes, I'd really like to purchase such an item also. Either fixed (w/size options / choices) or adjustable. Perfect for driving with both feet...

I decided to try designing my own so yesterday I bought an OEM dead pedal assembly off eBay. I'll post back here when/if I make some progress.

The dead pedal I bought off eBay showed up today. I took a quick look at it and realized that it should be easy to remove from the car. Pull back at the RH edge and three clips pop loose. Pull the whole assembly to the right and then push back to release the dead pedal. After looking it over I think adding an adjustable pedal should be pretty easy. My kids are home from college this week so I probably won't make any progress for a while, but I'll post again when I have something sketched up.

I know this is an old thread, but...

Did you ever find or do something with this? I've only had my car a month, but I've yet to find the perfect seating position where this is angled correctly for me. Minor annoyance, but annoyance nevertheless!
