They are apparently a scaled down version of what is in the IV's. One problem with the current design is that if your shoes are bigger than about size 10, they won't fit between the structure that holds the foot pedal and the master cylinder, which is on the other side of the foot pedal. Micah, I'm about 6'4" tall as well -- which means my foot is bigger than size 10 and I'd assume yours is, too. I like the concept and think it will even work for us oversized people if the pedal support struts and the master cylinders are all in the center, on the same side of the pedal. I plan on getting to that "project", eventually. One down side of the design is that it is not forward and aft adjustable like the floor mounted design. BTW, one way to get more leg room is to get our Legacy cockpit mod kit... :) Valin Thorn Legacy, Houston
