Where do I get an accelerator block to bolt to the pedal for track use to bring it up

Where do I get an accelerator block to bolt to the pedal for track use to bring it up an inch or so?

Thank you.

Regards,

Glue on a piece of wood about one inch thick and painted black.

My pedal has some adjustment....if my fading memory serves. I think there is a clevis on it that will move it a bit...maybe not an inch, but some. You can also adjust the brake pedal position a little if you have power brakes, so you should be able to get the positions you want without having to resort to blocks..

Our 2003 GT3RS, which ran at Lemans, and other races came to us from Racers Group with a very hi-tech spacer on the gas pedal, this was the car Kevin, and Liz drove..

the spacer......... 3/4 in plywood screwed over the stock pedal

In case you're not aware, the gas and brake pedal heights are adjustable on a 911.

If you go this route, it might be prudent to use screws rather than glue. It'd be a shame to lose your woody in the height of action (track...of course).

I cut a piece of 3/4'' plywood and used two small machine screws and bolts, painted it black, took about an hour to do. Works like a charm.

I used another 911 gas pedal. Shaved the bottom flat and ran thru bolts and nuts to secure it to the other pedal. It is the perfect height for heel/ toe and when you look in the car it looks like a regular gas pedal. They are very cheap if memory serves.

Bernard,
I found the stock gas pedal height to work fine at the track where you are pressing the gas pedal further down. (The pedal was too skinny for heel-toe with my small feet however.)
When I went to big brakes I did end up lowering the brake pedal some.
Be aware that if you raise the brake pedal with the adjustment at the pedal end, you will need to adjust the throttle linkage at the engine end otherwise you will bend your throttle linkage.
-Chris
