HELP WITH PEDALS PLEASE

[Steve Jones]

I think the brake pedal needs to be longer than the clutch. The front brakes have to be set up to come on before the rears to overcome the front axle movement under braking. I always found that the pedal can get very close to the floor if maximum braking is to be achieved.
On the Austin the clutch pedal is very short rather than the brake long. There is so little clutch travel that the short pedal is more than adequate!

See photo of the pedals in my Ulster. The brake uses a Ruby type pedal with a home made 'stalk' set up such that heel and toeing is easy with the long pedal travel.
