Here is the problem with changing the ratio or geometry of the pedal(s). Right now my brake pedal measures 12" from the pivot to the pedal pad. If I drop the pivot down 2" then I need to raise the pad 2" which shortens my pedal to a 10" stroke from the new pivot point to maintain the pad location. That would change my ratio to 5.7/1. Still way short of the 6.5 or 7/1 recomended. Although it should be an improvement, I am guessing and checking and that scares me. I only have one pedal box. It seems that installing a booster or smaller bore MC or both is the way to go.
Terry, You mentioned your brakes are good, big discs and a booster, what are your pedal dimentions? Pivot to pad and pivot to rod. And do you know your MC bore size?
