Abstract
An adjustable pedal assembly ( ) includes two pedal mechanisms ( and ) disposed on a top side ( ) of a carrier plate ( ). Two parallel tracks ( and ) are disposed on a bottom side ( ) of the carrier ( ) for supporting the carrier ( ) for movement between a fore and an aft position. The parallel tracks ( and ) are spaced apart a first distance for minimizing torque when either of the pedal mechanisms ( and ) is actuated. Additionally, the pedal mechanisms ( and ) are within the first distance separating the tracks ( and ). The carrier plate ( ) has a periphery ( ) extending about and spaced from the parallel tracks ( and ) to overlie the peripheral surface ( ) of the floorboard ( ) and limit access to the recess ( ). An adjustment mechanism ( ) for adjusting a fore and an aft position of the carrier ( ) is disposed on the bottom side ( ) of the carrier ( ) between the parallel tracks ( and ).
