Throttle pedal adjustment

TL;DR applicable to all Caterham with electronic throttle

This one is courtesy of Guillaume who shared that trick with us at the Vosges meetup last week-end - and on the Sevener forum as well ; originally here -. Photographs are from his 165, but I confirm the mounting holes and original pedal layout are the same on my 170 (cfr last picture here).

I find mind blowing that setting the fasteners in an ungodly manner will give us a straighter throttle pedal and a better overall even layout with an extra centimetre of spacing with the brake pedal. We all know we can use some of that.

In short, the top fastener is moved to the other hole in the bracket while the bottom one is just loosened a a bit. Then re-tightened, obviously. Just like that. I'll do mine as soon as I get the car back.

As I'm told it leaves about 5 mm of room before hitting the pedal box when applying gas fully, it's probably worth checking there is no interference when done.
