Contact Oldgoalie915. I think he's selling a pair. (ask Roddy about the mods)
PM me about why he needs to sell these.

I am in a 34+3 VK7 set and have a ATK of 18.5. They fit me perfect, with my knee hitting the center of the landing gear, which is awesome by the way!

Keeps, my VK5 pads (the ones you saw) are 32+2"... and I have an ATK of 16-3/4". Now that the pads are broken-in my knee sits high in the knee lock. To be honest I think that a 33+1" might have been a better fit for me. So in the spirit of helping, I would agree that 34" would probably be spot-on for you.
Hey Glude, quick question for you....
do you think that the knee landing pad for the VK7's would fit in the VK5's? It looks a little bigger and I'm trying to figure out a way to keep my knees from smacking the ice.

There must be a fair amount of leeway in the sizing, because my 34+2's fit just fine and my ATK is 17.5". I never looked to see where I hit on the stack because, honestly - as long as I'm not missing the stack, I don't really care. 
I have thought about either adding another lift or replacing one with my Maltese Gel lifts, only cause I seem to drive very hard with my knees and occasionally I do feel like the amount of padding could stand to be a little more, but time will tell if I go this route or not.

I believe that the lacing system is the same and they should fit as they are not that much bigger...trial and error is going to be your best bet, but I do believe it will work!

well i always get pads an inch larger than i would normally need, I have an annoying habit of leaning on my pads and just cant kick the habit, so i get an inch taller to make up for the crunch i give my pads. My velo's are 35+1 and fit very nicely after my crunching.  |

We will add in the top strap so the thigh rise gets pulled in to cover the 5 hole.
You are going to love them.

Just my opinion, but 35 is going to be too large. You should look at 34 or 33 as my ATK is 18.5 and I wear a 34+3 and they fit like a glove, my knee kits right in the middle of the landing gear.
PM if you need a better explaination.

Short
Any ideas on if there are a set small enough for a 14.5 ATK?
Yes I'm short.
Sucks to be right down on the border between kids sizes and the Senior size...
