I moved my T1 pedals so that the middle slot is now empty -- quite easy
although the wires inside were too short and I had to solder in extra
length wire.  My T1 had rivets which I had to drill out to get in the
case, otherwise it was a snap.  The pedal units***into the bottom of
the case, just remove the screws, lengthen the wires,***it back
together in your choice of slots, and voila... really helps me (size 12
EEE feet).

Another nice mod on a T1 steering wheel unit is to remove the case,
attach a board cut slightly larger in width than the case (with 1-2"
overhang at each end) and equal in depth to the case (I attached the
board using screws and washers placed thru the stupid suction cup
holes),***it all back together, and clamp the unit to your desktop.
Never again will the wheel fly off the desktop when you're driving your
hardest!  I use these really nice and cheap clamps made by "Quick Clamp"
that look like jumper cable jaws... works great...

Unfortunately, no you can't.  In the T1, the pedals were screwed into a
bracket which was then screwed into the baseplate.  Then you could
unscrew the brake pedal bracket and mount it on the left most mounting
site.  In the T2, the mounting bracket has been made by bending sections
of the metal baseplate up and then attaching the pedal assembly to it.  
The only way you could re-do this is to figure out how to cut another
mounting bracket into the baseplate and bend it up like the original, or
get a T1 and use the baseplate from that to attach the pedal assemblies to.

Does anyone make a set of adjustable pedals?
