[s-cars] Adjusting pedals?

[Bluemaxww1 at aol.com]

My first wife was 4'11', so I know what you mean. There were no way to  
adjust the pedals on my porsche.  I got 2 inch thick rubber cut it to  match the 
pedal, drilled a hole in the pedals and used a 1/4 inch carriage  bolt to 
attached them to the pedals.  Worked great.  
 
After she departed my company, I just unbolted them, and put the stock  pedal 
covers back over the pedals.  You can't see the holes anymore.   I still have 
the porsche 25 years later, and thank god, a different wife.
 
As for the Audi, I didn't like the Heel and Toe either, but could find no  
way of adjustment without bending the arm on the go pedal.  But after I put  the 
996 calipers on the car, they used more fluid than the G60s and the brake  
pedal travelled further making the brake pedal a lot more even with the go  
pedal.

Here's a  question for the collective wisdom of the group, specially 
those who have  dealt with or removed their pedal assemblies in the past.

I'm trying to  find a way to either shift the entire pedal assembly or 
extend the pedal  arms about 1-2 inches closer to the driver (for my wife 
who is only 4'9"  and ends up sitting far too close to the steering wheel 
and it's  airbag).  I need to do this for both the our '99.5 A4 and our 
'93  S4.

I've tried to take a look at the pedal assembly in situ and in  Bentley 
and ETKA, but couldn't get a really firm grasp on the mechanicals  of the 
system without actually pulling it and disassembling.

Has  anyone else ever run into this?  Anyone have any thoughts on the 
best  approach to take?  Pros and cons of the two methods?

Oh, and it  would also be nice to be able to level the accelerator pedal 
with the  brake pedal to make toe and heeling easier (Audi has always put 
the  accelerator pedal slightly lower than the brake pedal since the  
'unintended acceleration' debacle in the  '80s).

Thanks!
