Default Brake pedal height in manual car.

Hey Hey,

I swapped over the pedal boxes on my au2 today and once it was all back together the brake pedal sits lower. Its inline with the accelerator. Can some one with a manual car check their pedals for me ?

Des ;)

I just checked the SR.

Brake pedal height is about 7-10mm higher than the accelerator.

Clutch pedal height is that again higher than the brake pedal.

Cheers,

GK

also dont forget, it depends on how your accelerator cable and clutch cable is.....

edit: i think the only real way to measure it is to go from the hole from the booster to the pedal...

Ok, With the pedal rubber on it its the same as yours. Just seemed odd to me but if its the same it must be normal.

See how you go driving it as such for a week. If it's all okay, there's no need for any adjustment.

All the best with it.
