‘66 console satellite - driver side accelerator pedal clearance?

[Bleep Bleep]

The space between the fiberglass console panel and brake pedal is barely big enough for my (size 11) foot. And that’s without carpet. Is this normal on this my? Or do I need to get smaller feet?

smaller feet. It’s tight there. I’ve been thinking about seeing if I can shift the console 1” right (?)

Yep. In this case 1” would do it. Driving with swin fins appears unwise.

Or, the brake pedal surface could be trimmed. Who needs that big of brake pedal anyway. Stopping in a hemi is over rated.

This is my 66 satelitte foot room. No modifications.

Not sure it makes a difference but is yours an auto or manual? Your console trim is finished differently than mine. The fiberglass panel on mine goes all the way from the floor to underneath the top console trim. You have that extension of the console colored trim above where the carpet starts.
Yours may be an upgrade option I don’t have or the console design if diff between manual and auto.

Yes post #5 is an auto which is a different animal. Bleep, yours appears cracked and spread out some. But they are tight

Yeah, it’s not in the best shape. The part has a 11/65 date label. Who knows what kind of conditions it’s been subject to so could be deformed. The bottom, where closest to the accel pedal has a noticeably large gap from the tunnel flooring contour.

Since the car came without carpet for the area I plan on getting a replacement piece to finish it off. Maybe it will be a little tighter fit.

Something I’ll get used to I guess. Thanks!
