pedals (long)

[rip]

okay so I ran into a problem, couldn't get the Saco hydro kit to work. Yeah tried a lot of stuff, posted most of it here:

The long and short of it is I found out that the slave cylinder needs about a 3/4" mc. The mc that comes with it is 5/8. My problem was that no matter how much bleeding and adjusting I couldn't get the pedals to release the clutch. Actually before I returned the kit, set it up on the bench. I stroked the mc all the way and only got ~1/2" of movement at the slave.

So I returned the kit and well am now looking for some sort of replacment. I was thinking of CNC or wilwood. Tiltons are way too much $$$. Anyways I really don't what to cut up the front support to fit pedals. So I've been looking at hanging ones and noticed it would also be a bit of a pain to fit, the steering column is in the way.

Well I came up with an idea. I can get the swing reverse mounting mc pedal assembly like here:

now instead of trying to work between the steering column and the fuel tank, well why not floor mount it? Yeah not what it is intended for but then no cutting. I'd have to build a box as the mc would now be under your feet, but nothing a piece of aluminum can't fix.

The problem would be that you pedals would be about 3 inches higher because of the master cylinders sitting under your feet. Not exaxtly comfortable, unless I tilted the seat back at an angle. Yeah I thought about cutting under them but then you would lose ground clearance, not to keen on that.

But, then thought why not just cut the pedals down a little? It would screw up the pedal ratio, but if I didn't put out to much I should be okay right? I heard stock was around 4.5:1 but wanted to make sure I measured the pedal and it comes close to 8.5" (from pivot to middle of the pedal) and the pivot to the pivot on the brake clevis is about 1.5" Using these measurements I get a pedal ratio of about 5.66:1.

Dont know if I did this right, you just divide one by the other to get the ratio right?

Anyways thoughts? opinions?

Thanks
