Now I will have to go and dig out the Cambridge from where it is resting in the rented garage, buried under the some of the contents of my son's house.
I have a steering wedge.
The brake pedal is still on the steering box.
Being dim, I have never twigged that, obviously, this alters the relationship of the braking components to the rest of the car.
I bought it like that, I have driven around 100,000 miles like that.
The brake/accelerator pedals work nicely together - "heel-and-toe" - etc.
The brake rod sits happily under the floor.
Now I am wondering how this can be, and will have to go and have a look to find out. Non standard pedal assembly, maybe?
The wedge has never given trouble, particularly since I have welded to it a short vertical strip with a hole in it which bolts through the original brake pedal hole in the chassis,
thus sort of triangulating it.
