I didnt change over on my mod and the Alpine pedals work fine. I believe I may have heated the gas pedal a little to bend for clearance but not much.

That is a good question Kevin. I assume that you are talking about a left hand drive car? I know with a right hand drive Tiger, there is alot less room for your foot when off the clutch than in the Alpine but I always assumed the pedal position was the same. Was that the case with the left hand drive Tigers/Alpines?

pedals continued
Yes, I am refering to a left-hand drive car. My 67 alpine was pretty much stripped when I bought it, but it was very straight and fairly rust-free. As there were no pedals other than the gas pedal still in it, I was thinking of picking up a tiger set-up as the tunnel mod encroaches on an already tight pedal area (and I have big feet). I am trying to find out if the tiger set-up will work with the alpine firewall or if I should stick to the alpine style. I appreciate any information I can get on this prior to investing in a pedal assembly. Thanks, kevin

No speaking from experience, but I would do whatever you can to stick with the Alpine pedals as I just saw a Tiger gas pedal assy go for right at $300.00 on ebay.
Kevin,
The floor mods are so little, that the stock Alpine pedals work fine. You may have to modify the gas pedal, but not much. Big feet don't run aout of room in an Alpine.

I just got through with a fun pedal experience, the PO had cut the holes where the gas pedal mounts. I had to look at my other car and make some large washers to fit. Then I welded them in and Walla.
I don't know what they had done because I only bought the body. There was a large square hole cut in the fire wall and 3/8" plates welded to the cross member for engine mounts. All gone.

Besides, for those who don't know, the Tiger clutch pedal is slightly shorter that the Alpine one. This is so the pads are at the same level even thought the brake and clutch masters aren't mounted in line, the clutch master being mounted lower in the firewall. So if you were to use them the clutch pedal would be higher than the brake in a stock set of Alpine mount holes.
I used the hanging gas pedal assembly from the 77 Mustang II donor car in my conversion. My car is Alpine6 (Bob Sharkey) and has been on the road since 1994. Jose and others have driven my car and I have not heard any real complaints about having enough foot room. I did bend the brake and clutch pedals to the left some to give more clearance to the gas pedal, but kept the same spacing between the brake and clutch pedals.
