Hey Guys

I installed the pedals and master-cylinders today. My concerns are:

1) The clutch pedal is only screwed in 3 turns onto the MC pushrod - and pedal is already vertical. Is this ok or should I screw it in a bit more?
2) The brake is screwed in all the way on both front/rear MC. It is still NOT vertical, but inclined forward about 45degrees. Also, on full brake application, it hits the rear chassis bar behind it.

The MC are the new 'Evo' types...

Thanks

I have taken the pedal positions from CJ's site: throttle and clutch closest to driver, brake all the way back (near bulkhead). However with the new MC, there may be a difference in pushrod size, which is why the pedal hits the rear chassis frame...

I will experiment based on other suggestions and report back.. thanks

The pedal frame hits the chassis bar about 2/3 the way up... see arrow in the picture

I had it originally in the rear most, but it did the same thing... I moved it forward to see if it made any difference... The pic in the first post shows the pedal in the rear most position.

Factory recommend brake in rear most position with pedal angled forward about 10 degrees...

Ok great... onwards then...

And Ken - since you are ahead of me, do let me know when you bleed the brakes and to how it affects the movement of the pedal.
