Brake Pedal
Is there a way to adjust the brake pedal to not be so close to gas pedal on my 68 Datsun 1600?

Re: Brake Pedal
You could watch the recent episode of Wheeler Dealer where they tackled this on a roadster they flipped. They basically just bent the pedals to open up the box.
"When all else fails, force prevails!" Ummm, we're gonna need a bigger hammer here.

Re: Brake Pedal
There is also some room to the right of the gas pedal.
Opening up the spacing defeats easy rev-matching, though.

Re: Brake Pedal
That episode of Wheeler Dealer was broadcast here again last night. You might be able to get a rebroadcast on cable.

If you have Hagerty Insurance, you get Motor Trend channel for free, and can watch on demand.
