brake pedal location

<< < (2/2)

Larry Gocha:
I don't know where your foot will be sitting but in the car I drove my heel was right above the trans brake solenoid and I had to make a shield to cover it because I kept hitting the plunger with my heel not good. I know it don't have to do with the brake pedal just a note.

Need is not relevant, its weather you want to or not. On my car since I used a hand brake I mounted a peddle off the tail housing tranny mount to apply pressure to the TB solinoid and had a tubing "dead peddle" on the frame for the left foot during the run completely away from the peddle. What you dont want is any chance of the foot/boot getting hung up.
  One more thing that people need to do is the studs that are in the RE housing under the left leg/knee is to replace those with threaded inserts in the housing and use bolts there. The drivers boots can get hung up on them trying to climb out (and taping the boots closed is messy) and the studs will wear a hole in the drivers suit after time.
