Another fun project completed today on Bonne. Finally got the pair of factory 'adjustable pedals' installed.
A little clean up and Krylon overhaul followed by some white lithium grease, and they're working fine. I've attached a couple of pictures alongside the non-adjustable pedals for comparison.
It's a fairly elegant design. They operate using a speedo cable from the lever under the dash to a worm gear @ the brake pedal, then another cable out the back of that worm to the accelerator pedal worm gear. The lever has mini serrations in the groove providing nearly infinite adjustment along a 4" travel.
Now my 5'2" wife can drive Bonne, and my knees aren't in the dash sitting on the passenger side. For a fixed bench seat car, this has to be one of the smartest ideas they had in 74. I'm surprised it didn't come out sooner. Ingenious for its time!
Not sure why the portrait pics are sideways or how to turn them, but you get the idea.
