Floor Mounted Pedals

[Guest chris brown]

Hollow threaded tube

Never seen solid tube The other option is to change the cable for one with the adjuster on it like the Cortina one.

[Longboarder]

OK just tube then, Sir. There is 60mm of play to take up with something, and it has to be adjustable.

Which year and specification cortina should I use. If you know the overall length of cable and shoulder to shoulder of the outer or free cable length it would be helpful.

(I was in Partco yesterday for a cylinder head gasket and they asked for the registration number of the car. Not vin or engine number so they must have access to a very clever database.)

I don't believe it! :angry:

Made up a spacer, fitted easily, jumped in and tried the clutch. Has anyone got a bullworker. You would need the legs of Mr Universe to operate it. :angry: :boohoo:

Down the hole again to remove the pedal box and the lever ratio is 2.7:1. I had made the quadrant the same as the sierra one without thinking about the reduced length of the new pedal. Carved up the pedal box to remove the pedal and ground the quadrant off the end of the lever. Remaking it to give 4:1 ratio before trying it again.

I'm going to put a sleeping bag in the footwell I seem to spend so much time down there.

 

Nigel :boohoo:

[Guest salty_monk]

YOu're right Sir Chris, I guess I meant tube rather than bar...

 

Don't you hate it when stuff like that happens!!

 

I fitted a mini heater in my old one, exactly the same as Bob T only to discover he had mini wipers & I had Sierra when I came to put the croc bonnet back on & had to butcher it all again!!

[Longboarder]

Wasn't thinking about pedal ratio when I made it. Just copied the sierra one.

[Peter Bell]

shame you can't fit a servo on the cable Nigel are you making some sketches to save anyone else these problems?

[Guest salty_monk]

It's Nigel we're talking about... there with definitely be a helpful diagram there somewhere

[Guest DRC7]

Yep partco use dvla for the details of the car by giving the reg it tells you the make model and when it was made

[Bob Tucker]

Wilwood cylinders are tapped for a 3/8 UNF outlet and a 7/16 UNF inlet

 

I queried this with Rally Design when I bought their hydraulic handbrake set up.

They claim its because the inlet is gravity fed & needs to be bigger than the outlet which is pressure driven.......sounds plausible to me....

 

Bob.

[Longboarder]

OK, sounds reasonable. Pity cos I've got same size pipe in the same size hole in both inlet and outlet. So now I need to find two bigger holed 7/16 joiners.

But why UNF. And you try to find 7/16 ones except by specialist mail order.

I'll go out and have a look at my setup over the next few days. I do know it has an adjustable clutch cable fitted, part number QCC 1061, believe it may be Mk 4 or 5 Cortina.

Yep partco use dvla for the details of the car by giving the reg it tells you the make model and when it was made

We use a VRM system as well, very usfull apart from looking for french car braking systems

[Guest docter fox]

depends how often you want to do it I suppose

[Longboarder]

Andy, QC 1061. Can you remember whose part number that was. Quinton Hazel, Unipart? It would be most helpfull.
