any kinda HEEL brace available? for clutch....
well probably my WORST problem driving the clutch is with my size 13 shoes without any floor matt my heel always slides down which throws off my clutch engagement feel point.... and when i put in a floor matt well they ALWAYS rotate around and move as well.
its always anoying when shifting mainly in 1st and 2nd cause after than its not noticably a problem BUT the car jumps ALOT MORE in 1st and 2nd..
i want to put SOMETHING for my heel to catch.......... i just DONT want it to be.... wel GHETTO... like a 2x4 screwed to the floor.LOL
anyone know of anything MADE for my slipping heal?
my only option i can think of is some L angled aluminum wraped in black carpet material screwed to the floor.... i know it would work! just finding that perfect spot to mount it for my heel.....

mat not matt. Matt is a name, mat is something you walk on. ROFL
So are you looking for something no keep your heel from moving or something to let you heel slide freely?

I used to have the same problem i got around it buy not putting my heel on the floor. I just use the clucth with my foot in the air. i know it sounds rediculous but it works well for me.
All my boys thought i was crazy when i tried to describe what it was i was doing but after i showed them that i can drive there cars better than them they didnt have much to say.

well i want something that holds my heel inplace. kinda like a bump stop
i can deal with alittle heel slipping... i just need something to keep it from sliding al the way down....
just easier to get that sweet spot on the clutch for me that way! shouldnt take much just alittle something thats not smooth...
and mat matt...... whatever ive never said i was good at spelling.... but at least i dont say Vtech
spellings never been my wrong point BUT you get the point! [8D]

Oh I found out the hard way that if you get the Industrial Velcro it will stick to your carpet. I have it on one of my camera mounts and when I set it in the back floorboard I like to have never gotten it up again. LOL
Just get a chunk of something and stick some Velcro to it. Plop it down on the floor and it will not move.
