    Default Recognize these pedals?

    These came to us with our car. But they do not belong on our Elva. The guy they came from also had Lotus, Lola and possibly Brabham. Anyone recognize either of them?

    The brake pedal looks like the Lola T326 except yours is tilted in the left, opposite the T326.

    I agree with Garey, the brake pedal is def Lola, and I will speculate it's from a sportsracer because the pedal is offset to left to clear the steering shaft for a right side seating position car like a T492, 496, 497, 590, etc...

    Yes, it is Lola. No, it is not offset to clear steering column. It is offset to the right to get foot over to gas and clear clutch pedal. The foot pad has been installed the wrong direction. Early Lola peddle setups kept the pedal to the right of the column so you could brake and gas with the right foot. Just my $0.02.

    John , you are correct, I had to think about sitting in the racecar (It has been too long!) The pedal pad is on the wrong side of the pedal for sure.

    another vote for Lola - while not identical to my Lola T91/50, they have very similar design elements and construction

    Pedal pad flipped. Now definitely Lola? Though I note now the "reinforcement" is on the front of the tube. I think I normally see them on the back.

    Wow. That looks spot on! I don't think this clutch is from the same car. Anyone have thoughts on this one?

    Lola T326 FSV, similar design but different.

    The Sports Racer thought was probably a good direction to investigate.

    I also have a FSV Hewland I don't need. Now I just need to find someone who wants to buy it, and I'll throw in the pedal!

    Yes, I am looking to sell the Hewland. It's a Mk8, with 10:31 R&P, Quaife ATB diff, and FSV knuckle shifter. But I'd actually rather keep the knuckle shifter and can swap the shifter and rods for the "normal" shifter. I just haven't gotten around to listing it.
