A short legs kit has been developed by the Burton Car Company, which will bring the pedals closer to the driver. First, the master brake cylinder is fitted in the pedal bracket using the two holes closest to the bulkhead. Use four M10 washers between the master cylinder and the bracket to fill the gap that results from the repositioned pedal set.
Replace the original brake pushrod by the longer one from the kit and fit it to the brake pedal.
Take care that the slope on the pushrod follows the slope of the pedal.
Next: the pedal set is fitted to the bracket using the holes closest to the driver. The two bushes from the kit should guide two M10x65 bolts through the two holes in the bracket closest to the driver and through the pedal set. Use appropriate washers and lock nuts for the fitting.
Check that the brake pedal has free play between 0.5 and 1.0 millimetre, measured between the pushrod and the master brake cylinders piston. That way free travel of the brake pedal will be around the required 5 millimetres.
The complete pedal assembly can now be fitted to the body as described in the previous chapter.
Be aware that the clutch cable guide will have to be shortened to compensate for the relocated clutch pedal. About 35 mm needs to be cut of off the pipe that guides the clutch cable. The same length can be cut of off the outer skin of the throttlecable to create extra play.
Check to see if the clutch pedal remains free from the steering column (after that is put in place). You may have to bend the pedal slightly to achieve this. |
