I got the throttle sensor working. I just need to paint the bracket and it's good to go.

I just changed my mind on a few things. I think I'm going to raise the pivot point on the brake and clutch pedal and install 3 masters with a balance bar on the brakes and be done with all the linkages in there. I'll also add an adjustable proportioning valve I think so I'll have all the knobs I could ever want to get the brakes balance and nice.

Okay, this is the stupid response: I assume that you are not going with a Tilton pedal box and just going to fabricate/modify?

I would love to just buy a pedal box and use it....but it's not so simple. There's a huge whole in the top of the front fire where the current box bolts and it needs to stay sealed. I'd prefer not do a lot of (or any) re-work on the firewall so that sets the minimum pedal length to be slightly longer than the off the shelf setup.

That got me to it's probably less work to mod the current pedal box then go all new. This path will also let me give it an original look so this is the plan I think

The original plan was to do what I'm doing, I thought I could cheat and speed things up, but when I got to the mount the clutch master I realized my short cut was going to cause me WAY more work to get the clutch working. Best to just do things right the first time :oops:

Last night I measured some but mostly just stared at the pedal box making absolutely no progress. To do what I was thinking the pivot point would need to go up about 2.5" and that would be ugly. Today I'll ponder linkage options........
