do you think that size 15 feets will fit in the standard foot well?

Why, how many feets do you have?

Maybe you could just put wheels on one of your shoes?

Cheers

No guy seriously, do you think thye will fit in the standard height of the chassis.

(and yes i only have 2, although i almost had 1 and a half. - a tree fell on me foot :mad

If you go for top-hung pedals then you should be able to adjust things to suit. My pedals live in a box on top of the footwell, so your toes can go upwards!

Just dont wear normal shoes, cos you'll be hitting more than one peddle at a time.

Theres loads of space for your feet, just depends on the pedal spacing

you should be able to mock somethign up with a cardboard box - IIRC there is about 11 ins of room. Stick yer feet in a box that wide and see if they fit comfortably.


There might be a prob getting somewhere to rest your clutch foot. If you have top hung pedals, you can rest your foot behind the pedal - thats the way my car is.

Reminds me of that scene in Spaceballs* when Yogert drops the statue on Barf's foot

I would imagine that with size 15 feet, ANYTHING that falls will have a tendancy to land on them.

Couldn't you wear some size 10 shoes

I think i got it sorted...

Ill stick to top-mounted pedals, but: "I got a cunning plan sir...". Sorry, just had to add that (blackadder). I will be making the chassis wider, so width should not be a problem. I was thinking of raising the top sheeting of the pedal box to accomodate the length of my feet. Should be able to fit it all under the bonnet . I am trying to hook up with a fellow builder in my area to try the size of a standard chassis. I think there are around 25 either on the road or bueing built . SOon to be 26

BTW, Thats a monstorous shoe! mine are only 13" but they certainly dont look as clownish... (Nike basketball shoes)

Regards Glenn.

PS: Do they make race boots that big?
