Those little brake cylinders seemed like they would be the perfect solution to the cylinder head to brake cylinder clearance issue.
I should have known better.
Besides the pedal assembly Spence ordered a mounting plate that also aligns those pedals with the cylinders and acts as a 'pass through' for the actuating rods.
The location option on the firewall is pretty limited because of the steering column.
Had this been a race car without a factory dashboard we would have had a lot more leeway on location.
Applying pressure to the clutch and brake pedals should not result in the firewall flexing. It was obvious early on that we were going to need more strength there. O.E.M. pedal assemblies aren't attached directly to the firewall but have a framework incorporated into the dash. A race car would attach to the cage assembly.
The spot we had to mount to didn't have a large enough flat surface and was very weak. It was time to do more cutting.
