has anyone extended there brake pedal if so any photos or drawing etc
Do you have the mag wheel tiger?
no nothing so modern 99 885i
God knows what your going to do then because the mag wheel version is atrocious the early ones are miles better,having tried both,assuming you want an extension on the piece you put your foot on?.
it should nt be to differcult to extend i hope i was just casting about for ideas
Buy a rear brake lever off a mag wheel tiger and put a tube over it(it's round) to extend it,you'll be a braver man than me using a welded brake lever which is what you would have to do on the earlier version.
thanks chris i can cope with the existing pedal its just a annoying problem
I extended my brake lever about 10 years ago. I got a piece of aluminium strip, 3mm thick by 25 wide, drilled two 4.4mm holes in it and the brake lever in places that would allow a M4 nyloc nut to sit under the lever in the groove. Countersink the holes in the extension and screw it together. I seem to remember that I filed a flat the top of the lever so that it sat a bit more solid. It's been there ever since as you can see by the rusty nuts. :thumbsup

No problem. I know it's a bit "Heath Robinson" but it does the job of preventing me from having to twist my foot inwards to find the pedal.
