Pedal bender. It is a tool that was used to bend the stock brake and clutch pedal arms to provide more foot room. Someone on the other forum machined 10 of them and we used to pass them around the group gratis. I need to change the angle on mine.

I bought one of those 10. I used it on my Exocet, and then lent it out. Haven't seen it since.

Yep. I mailed mine on to the next guy back 12 years ago. Haven't seen another since...........but someone has one for sure!

I don't know if this helps anyone, but I found this thread with a CAD drawing of the pedal bender on the other forum. I think anyone with a mill could make one pretty easily. I've been toying with the idea of buying a bench top mill for a while. If I had one, I'd make a few of these just for practice and fun.

It would seem from reading over the posts on the links, Just Puttering posted, that MrMustang would be the fellow to contact, re the bender.

I don't think they are in circulation quite as much as they were at one time, since the Wilwood pedal system has come into play, but they are great for anyone still using the donor pedal set up.
