Nah i wouldnt do that to him was just winding him up....

Lawsy i think i get what your trying to say. I've got size 13's and know what you mean about the way some pedals are setup. I set the pedal half way between the clutch and accel pedal. Its being spaced up so its the same hieght as the clutch pedal. I've left enough material to allow me approx 50mm of vertical and lateral adjustment of the brake pedal to get it right where i want it.... :laughing:

From those pictures I can tell you that you'll want to move the peddle closer to the accelerator. Don't make it center, place it in the ideal position in relation to the accelerator, regardless of where the clutch is.

So move it right about half an inch to an inch, cause that's no where near the accelerator, and you'll never heal toe that distance in a million years.............

I plan to get it up and running and then once its all sweet i'l play around with the brake pedal position. where it is now i can move it aprox 50mm left or right so when i've got a bit of free time (and the gearbox is run in.) then i'l set it up how i like it... :spoton:

... If it is possible, then I'd love to be able to adjust the fulcrum point on my clutch to suit  my drivnig style more (you see, my car has the opposite problem; the clutch is just far too forgiving...).

We do an adjustable pedal for the BA. Our clutches work fine in organic without it, but it allows the adjustment to be tweaked on the ceramettallics, as they can be set up much crisper. Ben.

just finished another day on the big purple buckect of bolts. Eng bay is now complete. the wiring is all finished and tidy.I was lucky enough to be able to reuse the old wiring for my amps and just run the wiring throught the passenger side grommet. I bleed the clutch and it came up beautifully. feels like its going to be a nice clutch. I went and saw Simon and he loaded a mark 2 manaul configuration into my flasher box and that fixed the "D" light (where's jetmir.... :thumbsup: ) and stopped it shuting down once you put it in gear. I also reinstalled the the drivers seat and centre console so tommorow i just have fit new exhaust gaskets to the cat and muffler and relocate the horns and reinstall the front bumper and refit the passenger seat and give it a wash then its off to titans for a proper reflash and then retune from Simon....(PHEW....!!! :+1: )

hehehe i forgot to tightened one of the plenum nuts....man what a noise....it was shreaking like a banshee...i nearly sh@t my pants.... :crybaby:
