Brake Pedal




Finally got round to making the brake pedal bracket. After much cardboard prototyping, the parts were cut from 3mm steel. These will be welded onto a base plate which will bolt onto the floor plan - the aim being to provide some adjustment for differing driver sizes. However, the current setup causes the master cylinder to hit the front chassis rail, meaning drivers taller than me won't fit! The cause appears to be a mis-interpretation of the plans causing an inside measurement to be built as an outside one! Doh! There are several ways to improve this however for now I am going with what I've got in the name of progress!
Next is the mount for the clutch pedal, which shouldn't take long, before moving on to the accelerator.
