Has anyone made a large accelerator pedal for traditional heel throttle blip? I guess I am just going to get a shop to make one out of aluminium and put some anti slip tape (nothing fancy)

Yep, I got an extended pedal that's about 1" wider than the traditional pedal. Works great for both heel 'n toe and traditional use.

If you extend the length, you will need to mount it on a hinge otherwise, it will hit the carpet/floor before you get to full throttle...

Helmut...on a serious note. You'll probably hurt your self with that design. I could imagine you mashing the gas only for it not to come up because the bottom half is jamed in the carpet or in the floor board.
Isn't there a way you could hing the bottom of the plate with some arms connect to the peddal? I would think that would be safer than just bolting something to the peddel.

Yeah that picture is from an M5 and is very similar their OEM. It has a black
hing in the bottom. I guess I will just make a similiar design
I thought I would ask to see if someone has already done it. I guess I will be the first

You want a dead pedal in place of the accelerator?

Re: Has anyone made a large accelerator pedal (Helmut Ranff)
The true old heel/toe method seems somewhat dead. Even in purpose-built race cars they now use the left/right side of right foot technique. I have tried both in various cars and find it easy to threshold brake with the nouveau style. To that end, I changed my pedals to these:
