Am I pedaling up hill?

[Leeroy]

Sorry Alan, I am no help to you either. I don't have a pic of my pedal handy, but mine is terrible too. Has a bend in the pedal 1/3 from the bottom and I get a foot cramp with it as well.
I'll get a pic next time I am working in it.

[Alan Mclennan]

Thanks Leeroy!, I`m sorry to hear you are having the same problem!! , have you changed the seat in yours?, just wondering if that might be part of the problem!!
Major Tom, too mother earth!, has anyone up there got a pic or two of the said pedal, and how it is supposed to be connected to the shaft?, and help the pedal cramp Aussies out!

Mac, there is nothing wrong with your pedal that moving it a little closer to the center hum wont cure.

And this from a lady who uses a gas pedal like a dipper switch!

Chelle, what vehicle are you taking Granny down south in?, You know what she said about the Mussy!

[Alan Mclennan]

Oh another thing!, while you all are sorting through your pic`s!, can someone tell me the length between the pedal pivot point and the first bend in the arm, Please!.

[Greg D]

I can run out to the garage and measure mine but;
64 is probably different. I can't use the tape measure standing on my head.

The Mussy is the one I am taking, I don't want to take all day to get there. The highways down there are farm to market roads meaning they are paved but not heavily traveled. I bought some ear plugs at Walmart for Granny and with the ear plugs and a blind fold, I shouldn't have any problems. I should be able to make pretty good time.

i actually laughed at that one michelle. sure you don't need a gag to quiet all the screaming? lol

[Alan Mclennan]

" I don`t want to take all day to get there!"

Nope!, bout 1 1/2 hrs should just about get you there!.

Don`t take any milk with you Chelle! , I know it`s not funny!!!!!

Since the milk problem, I double check my trunk every time I go to the grocery store. That was one stinking mess. About a month ago a friend and I went to the Outback to eat the same one where we dumped the spoiled milk. As we pulled up to park I related the story about the milk to her and we both had a good laugh. I told her it was your fault since you weren't here to defend yourself.

Alan, I made it to Lyman's house from my house in two hours and twenty minutes. It is 164 miles and my average speed was 71 MPH. There are a ten towns to go through, some only has a single blinking light or stop sign others have two to three traffic lights and one had about a half dozen traffic lights. I was running about 85 to 90 a lot of the time and a couple of times I got up to a hundred and ten while passing some slow traffic. I did watch my speed going through the small towns as the local cops can be very tough on you. I did drive the speed limit coming back home as I figured the cops would be watching closer in the late afternoon and evening than in the early morning.

[Alan Mclennan]

Glad to hear you both had a safe trip!, sounds like Granny will have to have her hair re-permed tho! and there's no point taking all day passing slow traffic!

back to the pedal!, I got a glimpse of a wrong-side drive Slick pedal!, and they are nothing alike, so I`m going to bluff my way through it!, wish me luck! , Oh and I took my head rest off and got another 3" leg room!!

[Michelle]

I am sure that with a little care you can work the pedal thing out to your advantage. As for your head rest, I don't know if you remember or not but the head rest on my Mustang had been removed too. I took them off probably a month after I bought the car. It was almost like having a partition between the front and back seats, I hated them, it was hard to pass things to the back seat.

[Alan Mclennan]

Yes Chelle!, I do remember you saying that!, it also looks more sporty without them! and it made it easier for me to see out the front of the car from where I was sat!. It didn`t matter where you sat tho !, you could still hear and feel the rumble!!
I modified the end of the pedal arm to take the later style pedal yesterday and the paint is just about dry!

[Leeroy]

I haven't forgotten you Alan, I tried to take some pics on chrissy day but I only had the camera phone and it wouldn't focus properly on the pedal. Will get one for you asap.

[Alan Mclennan]

No worries Mate!, you getting any of that rain?, I bet Darren is!!!!
