They look right apart from missing the rubbers on the brake and clutch.

Could be the photo angle, but the brake pedal does look slightly twisted towards the accelerator at the top.. maybe someone modified for easier heel toe?

You could possibly take the brake and/or the clutch pedals off to heat and bend to your liking (even 1/2" would help).
 
BTW if planning to rebend remove or alter the existing pedals consider using an Alpine set. My spares are in San Diego county .

Was Co Part the site you found the car at?

How do the Alpine pedals differ from the Tiger's?
Yes, you got it.
 
On a tiger both pedal hang to the left of the steering column. On an Alpine only clutch is left of column.

If you want to whine about narrow pedal spacing, climb behind the wheel of a Lotus Europa. I have size 10 feet and I had to drive it barefoot.
 
I first test drove Kate's Tiger when it was still being worked on at the shop, and had the same trouble. The problem was there are two pivot pin positions for locating the elevation of the brake and clutch. The pins were in for the lower pedal position. Moving the pins to the upper location solved the problem. The problem was that the brakes did not become firm before you foot also hit the gas pedal. Yes, it is necessary to lift your leg slightly higher to activate the pedals in that set up. We have not had the issue since we made the change.

I've owned many cars in my life and participated in the various forums for those cars, but the Sunbeam Alpine/Tiger group is the most supportive and helpful I have come across yet! Thanks for all the input!

I would agree. This bunch is a great source of information and support. My yearly dues are well worth it.
