I will admit that it was with some trepidation that I approached the job of bending the clutch and brake pedals.

The excellent series of articles by Mike Cassidy available  here suggests that the clutch pedal offset needs to be increased by about 1cm, and that the offset on the brake pedal reduced so it is more or less straight.

My major concern was that I wasn't sure what sort of material the pedals were cast from, and that if they were cast iron they might simply shatter.

Needless to say they didn't.  Once they've cooled down I'll paint them.
