E-Brake pedal and roll cage

[Preston]

The roll cage I had installed comes down right in front of the emergency brake pedal and when I went to have it inspected today they said it was unacceptable as it would be very hard to get to in an emergency. Someone said they had it bent out. Is there a bracket to move it over? or perhaps I can have spacer welded in to move the pedal to the right. What have you folks done?

Thanks,
Preston

You can usually unbolt the front bolt that holds it to the dash and move it to the right. Sometimes you can even use an existing hole.

Line lock.

Best idea I have seen so far (and simple too)

From what I gathered in the post he had used a BMX style stunt peg to off set the e brake pedal. Clean and custom looking.

I did similar to what ken75ranger mentioned. remove the bolts that
anchor the release handle to the bottom of the dash and move it
over about 2 inches. that twisted the whole firewall anchor bracket
and pedal over far enough for unobstructed access with my cage.
it does put some added stress on the firewall bracket fasteners but
hasn't caused any problem in ~5 years.

after looking at the picture S/C-HD2002 posted that foot peg looks
like a pretty slick mod.

Thanks for the help. I do like that bicycle foot peg thing. I will look at the mounting bolts as well.

Thanks again,
