One is clamped onto the clutch release shaft on the gearbox and the other is mounted onto the steering box. Only one of them has a connection to the cross shaft.
Are you having a senior moment or has someone hacked your account?
Steady on Reckless, I think Nigel is talking of the kind of pedal where the pad and its stem are clamped into the upright lever part, even though that doesn't apply here.
Sorry but I'm still baffled. I can't see how it's possible to change over a clutch and a brake pedal, or for that matter why. The whole point of having a long travel on the brake pedal is to ensure that full braking can be applied but still leaving sufficient reserve travel to comply with Con & Use requirements. If the pedal pad is set closer to the floor that's less likely. The solution is to correctly adjust the braking system and/or move the driver further back. The brake pedal naturally stands higher than the throttle pedal to allow "toe & heel" gearchanges - although that's not so necessary with a synchro box (as in this case). Perhaps Nigel can clarify.
