Wings Engineering Heel-Toe Pedals being DISCONTINUED

piperpilotduane · 02-27-2002, 02:09 PM

I just ordered what was told to me to be the last standard width for the 914 and early 911. They have 5 extra wide left if anyone wants one for $109. They said they would no longer be producing them for 1975 and older cars. Also price goes up $10 on 3-1-02.

This is probobly the best Heel Toe pedal on the market for racing.

is this one of those pedals that has a "wing" on the bottom, toward the left, and sits roughly right below the brake pedal?..

i think this is a bad idea, because of the way the 914's pedal is hinged.. by using something like this, you're limiting yourself to place pressure as close to the fulcrum as possible, making modulation A LOT harder.. and you're putting a lot of torsional stress on the pedal, possibly leading to premature failure..

honestly, the 914 setup is THE EASIEST car i've ever heel-toed in.. i can do it both the traditional way (heel-toe), as well as the newer way (side to side) without a problem..

my $0.02 is that you do not need the pedal, simply more practice to get comfortable with the car..

OREDITH,

I understand what you are saying, but I use the side to side and this pedal alows you to adjust it to sit level with the brake pedal to do the side to side easier. And If I do use my heel, where my heel hits is approximately 1/2 way up ther factory pedal.
