Looking for a suitable and well-function gas pedal spacer

dyingfan_gt350 · Jan 23, 2018

Hello, fellows,

As the title states, I'm looking for a accelerator spacer for my gt350 for the sake of doing better rev matching.

Any recommendation would be nice !

Appreciated ahead ! :headbang:

Better heel toe on the track then ditch the factory pedals for these:

Choose the extra wide option for the accelerator.

For the street then the above are overkill and I have no suggestion.

A company named Garage Line was making a spacer just for this purpose but it is no longer on their website. A more budget option that many have tried is to go to the home store and buy some nylon spacers and put between the panels base and floorboard.

I find that on the street, the stock brake pedal is a bit high when applied - resulting in the need for more ankle articulation in order to get a good blip on the throttle for downshifts. But, on the track, when using the brakes to their fullest, the brake pedal is at a more even height with the throttle for easy heel-toe blips.

Just a thought - before you install a spacer, decide which is more important for you. If street, then the spacer will probably help. If track, try it on the track without a spacer first.

Here's a link to some nylon pedal spacers

Honestly, a stack of washers would probably work the same. I never installed my spacers because I ended up learning to heel toe. Try practicing some more, I don't think you need pedals or spacers.

The nylon spacers work perfectly, they're only a couple bucks, and you can't see them. Why spend a bunch of money on something that you'll never see, and can be done super cheaply?

How is the installation of these and anyone got any pics they can post?

I installed the standard width set in the fall. This was my second set of these pedals, the first on a Porsche C4S and they are very wel made.
On the 350 they are a it tricky since you have to drill into brake/clutch pedaly that are not flat but flanged and you have to be careful on spacing because there is not an abundance of room.
While a bit tricky, anybody with modest DIY skills can do it and you get qualityhardware to bolt them on.
The satin natural aluminum, frankly looks like factory equipment.

I agree with this.

To the OP, below is a thread that documents a readily available nylon washer option on the factory pedals.

Here is a shot of my dirty SRP pedal arrangement. Notice the extra width on the left side to make heel toe easier (my feet are not wide so on track and on street I found it very helpful). As another member said the clutch and brake will be drilled to install it.
