Evening all - please can anyone using SoCal brake pedal set up measure the travel they have between the back of the pedal and the floor/toeboards?
I'm building the floor, toeboards & tunnel for my 32 at the mo and trying to set up brake pushrod length relative to getting decent travel and position of toeboards etc - using standard SoCal chassis & brake pedal, non-power MC.
Question is how much of the (very long) pedal stroke is actually needed once its all bled and working? - I don't want the pedal standing miles off the floor as it makes it tricky to switch from gas to brake, so how much travel is needed in the real world?
I ask because I would need to space the toeboards closer to the driver to allow the 'under floor' half of the pedal to sit fully parallel with the underneath of the board like an original car, as the firewall angles don't match the pedal position properly. The neatest build would lose me maybe 1" off the end of the possible travel (empty MC). As this would end up with the brake pedal sitting really high up anyway and a shorter pushrod fits below my planned floor, question is does the MC need its full travel? I doubt it
Thoughts appreciated
