I'm not sure I understand.
You won't loose leg room, the "foot rest" wont be there when you are driving.
Why do you want the right pedal to flip up?

Great video though.

I'm a little worried about where the bar crosses behind the brake pedal. VT's have a huge amount of "sponge" in the pedal(there is a saying amongst mechanics "commodores have had ABS since the VB"). If you can hit that bar it looks like its going to open the throttle....... thats not going to be good. Having said that, its a long way from the brake pedal to the firewall.

If u cant get a look in a garbage truck.

From memory some driving instructor cars also have dual control setups. May help.

Thanks guys, they are both good ideas.
I have four spring loaded pins i bought from RS a few months ago ( needed one but had to buy five) so I may be able to use them to lock the pedal in either position and not use a spring at all.
A mate is wrecking a VR or a VS commodore and said I could have the pedal out of that so I am going to have plenty to play with soon. :0)
I just need a few hours free on the weekend to make a start and do some experimenting.
