Pedal Box Part2



Pedal Box Sorted
The pedal box has a bit of lateral wobble on the brake pedal. After a good chat with Kevin Broomhead of GBS it became clear I needed to get fettling the poorly sized nylon space as the pedals should be solid in the lateral direction. Plenty of fettling later, lots of copper grease and a bit of colourful language, and the pedal box is nice and tight.

The clutch pedal hole aligns nicely with the clutch master cylinder axis but my clutch MC seems to be stuck in the closed position. It also needs to be spaced out from the chassis bracket by around 30mm at first estimation - spacers on order..... May end up buying a new aftermarket clutch MC, leave that until later.

I noticed even with the brake master cylinder at its highest in the chassis the hole in the brake pedal is misaligned. A few different solutions presented themselves across different blogs and forums, by far the neatest is drilling the hole in the brake pedal lower to avoid grinding the chassis. Having ordered a new fork end and push rod, I need to wait for that to arrive before finally installing it.





When the clutch MC is spaced out it's clear that the reservoir would clash with the fire wall. The same is also true of the brake MC reservoir. Cutting the rear lug off the clutch MC allows me to spin the reservoir around. I can also spin the brake reservoir around and this avoids the clash.



Now just waiting for the push rod to complete the job.
