As some of you will know I've been struggling with pedal operation for some time.(1927 Special)
To recap the original throttle was poorly sited, this has been removed and as you can see from the photos I'm experimenting with a new set up.
However before finalising the throttle I need to correct the brake pedal, you may remember it being excessively long, 3 to 4 inches closer to the driver making application uncomfortable.
It was suggested that I try a Ruby pedal, however this being a straight lever didn't work.
You will see from the photos the original pedal loops round the steering box lever before entering the car, is this correct?
I've also tried a Chummy pedal, but when fitted is only an inch from the floor!
In short the original pedal is to long, the Chummy to short .
Picture 1. Shows all three pedal, the excessively bent pedal is the original.
Picture 2 . Shows the Chummy pedal in place.
Picture 3. Routing around steering box arm.
Any ideas anyone.
Many thanks
Paul
