Hi Paul,
When I built my special (1927 chassis), I struggled with how to make an effective throttle pedal without needing a "blister" on the side of the footwell to accommodate my right foot and pedal. I ended up with a go kart inspired simple throttle pedal made from a piece of round bar about 10mm dia which I welded to the standard throttle actuating rod which runs along the bulkhead. This set up works very well for me. I have size 11 feet, and although I have to be selective about footwear for driving the seven, as long as I wear trainers or similar I can heel and toe etc. without catching my foot between the pedals.
Hope this helps, and the pictures are clear enough.
Cheers.
Robin
