pedal stop
Kim,
On my pedal stop I used about a 6" long 3/8's bolt through the foot box.
Just went through the foot box at 90 degrees, the back of the clutch pedal isn't prepindicular, but close enough. (When drilling the hole, visualize the arc the pedal goes through, so the bolt will be high enough to stop the clutch at the point the clutch releases, not where the pedal would hit the back of the foot box if you swung it full travel)
I added a large diameter fender washer on both sides where it goes through the fiberglass to keep that from splitting out.
The bolt on my ERA 289 sticks into the footbox about four inches. Used an old poly suspension stop as a spacer and a few nuts and washers...the poly spacer does not do any shock absorbing, but it is 2 inches across at the bottom, and may help to keep the bolt from rocking if the alignment to the cluch pedal isn't perfect.
Trial and error on the height, if the gears drag, add a little more.
I do not remember the spec for max over the unit can go, but a ~ 3/8" travel after clutch release may be max...just so the clutch is releasing and a little more.
A rubber/poly bumper would be nice, but not necessary.
Pete
