Ok, so I took the whole brackety thing out that holds the brake pedal (and the clutch if you got that).
I removed some extra crap that was just in the way. Little brackets here and there that I have no idea what they go to. I also painted the nasty rusted thing.
To the point. I plan to move the pin upwards on the pedal to give more leverage on the pedal. I have a large pin already cut out of a bolt. I plan to drill a tight fitting hole for this pin and have a friend weld it in.
Has anyone done this?
I plan to move it up almost 1.5 inches center to center. Are there going to be strucural weaknesses with a big hole in the middle of the pedal shaft? I hope the the weld on the pin will restore the structural integrity of the pedal. I am considering adding some reinforcement to the side of the pedal just to be safe.
Forgot to mention that this is manual brakes with stock V8 calipers and drums.
