Older 911 heel toe pedal set up

Those of you who drive older 911s...what do you do to set up the pedals for heel and toe work. Is there a good kit?

Rennline has a nice setup with a gas pedal riser & heel toe extension. I think the cost approaches UD pulley territory if you get everything, incl dead pedal.

thstone did a nice review on them: http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/28895-rennline-pedal-install-guide.html

The pedals on an old 911 are perfect the way they are...perhaps you need to work on technique. I roll my foot to the throttle while braking with the ball of my right foot.
Maybe not for everyone, but certainly works for me.

I actually have Rennline in my Boxster and like them. With the three post set up you can even angle the lifter plate. I didn't realize they have similar for some 911s. I actually this is for an "adaptation" of another car. The rennline pedal won't work...but thanks good thought guys!

Actually it's one of things I can do pretty well....I am a roller but thought it best to use accepted terminology

The brake pedal has a turnbuckle-like device and is used to adjust the height of the pedal. Actually, you'll want the brake pedal a little higher than the accelerator since it goes down when you apply the brakes.

Are any of these necessary when this little Japanese guy can do it just fine with the stock pedals?

Well, Nick Faldo in his pomp could flush a 3 iron off the deck with a ultra stiff-shafted Mizuno blade with a sweet approximately 3 atoms wide. But your average club player is going to get along much better with some nice, forgiving Ping cavity backs. You read me?

Hell, I don't really even play golf, ghastly game!
