Finally shaking my chest infection and have managed some cursing time in the shed over the past couple of days.
Received the reversing plug for the tremec and fitted that up nicely, got a few other small jobs done and thought I'd start bleeding the brakes late Friday.
Discovered a knackered aluminium fitting on the passenger front brake but found a steel spare and with a bit of tinkering finally got it back together again but too late in the day for more.
Back under the car today and despite lengthy leg work on the brake pedal by my son, at best I'd only get fits and spurts of brake fluid from any of the four corners.
Might be something seized in the master/booster so I've pulled them out to have them checked. Ho Hum but better the brakes work properly than not.
So started to play with my replacement accelerator pedal. A rodeo pedal as suggested by Marty. With some applied heat and bending I have refabricated its layout to suit my cockpit as per the photo below.
Have lost some leverage off the pedal as it has been bent up to clear the
floor and match the brake pedal but I don't anticipate this being an issue in operation.
I've been able to position the assembly to pick up the old accelerator cable location and will simply be able to bolt onto the firewall.
So progress continues......sort of!
Cheers
Steve
