Rennline Adjustable Pedals

Rennline Adjustable pedals.......................s​hould I?

Anyone have experience of these, do they really make for much easier Heel & Toe?

[tazzieman]

It's an interesting question. I certainly gave it some thought , but came to the conclusion that if Walter Rohrl "Rally driver of the millenium" could use a pretty basic setup (see other thread) then my issue was not so much the pedal makeup , rather a matter of practise makes perfect.

In the end I went with the 935/917 style throttle pedal because again , if it was considered good enough back in the day...

There are of course different styles of H&T and as others have alluded to , different sizes of feet and types of footwear.

My car had the Rennline pedals on it when I bought it. Since I thought the aluminum/red pedals looked a bit too 'bling' in the basic brown/ivory interior, and the original pedal and pads also came with the car, I reverted to stock. Drove it stock for about a week, and decided that I wanted to put the Rennline throttle pedal back in. After driving it for a couple of weeks with Rennline, that week w/o just felt wrong. I ended up painting the pedal black, and leaving the stock rubber pads on the brake and clutch. May still do a bit of fine adjustment on the throttle, but overall I much prefer the Rennline over stock.

No pics to hand right now , but check D Zug.
I made a small RSR style dead pedal from stainless, removed the brake and clutch rubber pedal pads and the whole setup looks neat , without bling. In driving shoes you can really feel what's happening underfoot.

What is "D Zug"?

Never mind...I used Google and found them.

Thanks,

It is Reaper930 and juicersr's company:

I like Mark's version

I have them (the Rennline adjustable gas pedal and clutch/brake) and like them very much. I was considering the "pedal extension" from Rennline but I'll probably continue to tweak the heights of the brake and gas first. IE. I still think that l can improve my pedals set up. Cheers

I am not interested in bling either. I have the Rennline floorboard just because of its strength. I "heel and toe" by rolling the ball of my foot on to the gas pedal.

I have the AJ-USA dead pedal and my clutch and brake pedals do not have rubber pads. The stock gas pedal is okay except that the top, where I want to roll the outside of my foot, is too far away from the brake pedal. I don't need an extension at the bottom of the pedal. In fact, I don't get that concept at all. It seems like a safety problem to me.

Anyway, I am looking for a gas pedal that I can get closer to the brake pedal. I like the idea of a smooth aluminum surface like the D Zug pedal. The gas pedal doesn't need grip.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I did a bunch of research on Rennslist, and consensus was that this is the Cadillac (bad GM analogy?) of fully adjustable pedals.

I have struggled with heel/toe shifting since I got the 993 ( vs. my previous 924S), but have come to the humble realization that I need more practice than I need more gear.

It's a real well-made piece though... Check out the Rlist threads that discuss it. This would be a great opp for someone to buy new, for less.

pic as requested. I'm still finding my way with this but I really think practise is the key. It's all in the timing and you need quick reflexes. Like most motor tasks , 1000 reps creates the neural groove. Of course if you have bad habits , add another 1000

Unlike my 1988 Coupe, my 1993 964 Coupe came with these adjustable pedals. I love 'em!

Hey Tazzieman,

Is that a homemade dead pedal ?
I like it,do you have any fabrication info and dimensions,it looks like a nice Winter project !!!

Cheers !

I believe it to be a repro of the original factory piece from the '60s/early '70s. There is a guy here that's made them and is selling. After I checked out what his name was, I discovered that Pelican carries the part: Pelican Parts.com - Drivers Dead Pedal/Footrest.

Paul's products (Rennline) are well done and do the trick for me. I have them in both cars. The gas pedals I have are non adjustable, but you can adjust the brake pedal height at the cluster.

That pedal looks as far or farther away at the top than the stock pedal....

The search continues....

For the gas pedal, is it width or height you need? I need height. I have not yet had a chance to try screwing a second rubber pedal to the first, but I understand this is a popular solution for those who find the gas pedal too low to get to; you can also offset it slightly to the left if you desire.

[Beaky]

Thanks folks, good responses.

I can't seem to locate a UK or European based distributer for the Rennline, (postage and duty really pumps up the cost) so may try a fabricate one first before a dip into my pockets.

Does anyone have the Dimension of the pedal?

[tobluforu]

ajusa makes pedals that you can attach to the existing pedals, this allows you to move the brake and, or the gas pedal closer together. Before I went this way I just added a thin block of wood.
