Pedals

[jellison]

Do Cerbs have Floor or top mounted pedal - I'm sure it must be the top, but if so is the throttle adjustable?
Only (stupidly) the clutch and Brake on Grifff / Chims (I got an adjustable throttle made up - would I have to do the same on Cerb to get all pedals in line..?

Top mounted, and easy to adjust the brake and clutch to bring in line with the throttle. You can always bend the throttle if you like though

I wouldn't as this can induce a fracture/stress point and has been known to fail. If you do it needs to be heat treated to remove the stress. It is surprising how much force you can exert when pushing a pedal!

Must be the same as Chim - will get one from Leven (have to talk leven into letting me have just a throttle and no silly polished pedals again) - when I get one - Spring....

Most metals, unless its a casting or hardened will let you bend them a certain amount without worry about stress fractures.

With a bit of sensitivity you'll know whether you're overdoing it because the metal will start to stiffen.

Once this happens, heat the metal to cherry red and let it cool slowly, you should them be safe to continue to bash a bit further.

Got almost a u bend in some very heavy metal this way.


Sorry I recently bought a Oxy acetaline kit and am having a lot of trouble not finding things to use it on.
