KB dead pedal

[RAUDER]

I installed the KB dead pedal and now my left leg sits up too high...I'm 6'4".....any suggestions?

I noticed some of you guys have a modified dead pedal.

Thanks

Check with MartyO, he had his pedal modified.

Rauder,

Basically...for taller fellas...the dead pedal as it comes is too far forward as you've now noticed. By cutting it where it meets the side bracket and moving it 1 1/2"-2"...it will then be at the same "depth" as the accelerator. This can be done, but it needs to then be re-welded to the side bracket. Mine is done this way.

For more specific (and better) details...PM Fordnut.

So what is the ideal height to be for the KB pedal as it comes?

I'm 5'10" and stock position feels good to me.

It's a personal preference thing Steve...I wanted both feet to be at the same distance and when I sat in someone's who had it in the "as it comes" position...I felt my left leg was a little...I don't know...more towards me, bent, etc. With the mod to it, both feet are at equal distance on the accelerator and the dead pedal...unless at WOT.

Thanks Todd... I figured it'd be easier to mod the KB pedal than my own height (and probably less messy). I'm *really* interested in getting this dead pedal soon... damned soon.

By the way, congrats on being back in the saddle again.

thanks todd...I will PM FordNut

You could also have your left leg shortened a little!

Sorry I have to ask a somewhat ignorant question, but where do you go on the internet to buy this "dead pedal"? KB's site doesn't show it. I'd certainly like to have one.

Kevin or David will help you, tell them you're from the site.

I made a dead pedal out of .060 Aluminum. Basically a "U" with a flat surface at the bottom of the U and small ears on the other sides. I attached it to trhe floor mat with safety wire, but any wire or thread will do. This allowed me to adjust the height to my liking by changing the lenth of the legs of the U. It alsop didn't require drilling holes, and it comes out with the mat for cleaning. Only a vise and shears needed. Less professional looking indeed, but more functionally fitted. Besides, who sticks their head down there.

Since we're on the topic of dead pedals .....

Could someone please post a pic' of the Kenny Brown part not installed. A copy of any instructions and/or diagrams would be nice too.

Reason - Have a Ford Motorsport dead pedal ( M-61120-A )



However, need an idea for fabricating a bracket that bolts to the hood-release mount beneath the kick-panel. The panther-body doesn't have much meat back there for places to bolt to.

*Note - The M-61120 was standard issue on the 1984-86 SVO Mustangs and the part was a Ford Motorsport offering until the mid'90s. Put 'em in all my vehicles ( '84 T'bird, '86 Mustang, '87 Ranger, etc. ).

How solid is the dead pedal? Can you really push on it to stay in place in hard cornering?

Flesher, would you upload a photo your custom pedal?

I have the KB dead pedal installed on my MM and I love it.
I'm 5'10" and its perfect for me plus it really fills a void. It quite solid too when really leaning on it!!
