The accelerator pedal used in the 2CV is too long to be used without modification in the Burton because of a different location of the pedal set. You may either exchange the original accelerator pedal at the Burton Car Company for a modified one or you may modify the pedal yourself (refer to the drawing).
For people who are short in statue, there is an option to bring the pedals closer to the drivers seat, see chapter 5.8 for details.
Fit the pedal set and master brake cylinder on the pedal bracket. To fit the master brake cylinder, use the two M10x65 bolts and fit those through the bracket using the holes that are closest to the bulkhead.
Make sure that all pedals can move freely, specifically the accelerator pedal, which is known for its pivoting difficulty. That could either be caused by dirt on the spindle or because the pedal is turned too far on its thread.
Verify that the brake light switch is properly fitted in its slot.
Guide the master brake cylinder and pedal set assembly from the inside of the car through the oval hole in the bulkhead. If the master brake cylinder does not fit smoothly through the hole, you can enlarge the hole slightly by using a file. Fit the complete assembly to the body using eight bolts of size M6x30. Use mudguard washers on the outside. Do not forget to install the stainless steel clutch cable guide, which is situated on the engine side of the bulkhead, down on the left side and fitted to the two lower holes of the pedal set bracket. (see both the drawing and the picture for details).
The bolt on the lower right hand side is also used to fixate the brake line in the engine bay. The bolt above it is also used to fix the heater tubing bracket as situated on the engine side of the bulkhead.
Carefully press the brake fluid reservoir back into the master brake cylinder only after having oiled the rubbers using the correct brake fluid. The reservoir is not allowed to touch the body.
Check that the brake pedal has a free play between 0.5 and 1.0 millimetres measured between the pushrod and the master brake cylinders piston. That way a free travel of the brake pedal will be around the required 5 millimetres.
Attention: In order not to fail your local version of the MOT as well as for your own safety, both the clutch- and the brake pedal should be equipped with a correct, not worn out, pedal rubber. It is much easier to put these on before you mount the complete pedal set assembly. Later access is difficult.
The accelerator pedal of a 2CV or Burton is never equipped with such a rubber cover. |
