A745 to 727 what about brake pedal?
1964 D100. I've removed the clutch pedal assembly by adding a spacer in place of the pedal. Has anyone moved the brake pedal pad on the arm? I would like to get another 1-1.5 inch away from the accelerator. It looks like I can grind off the rivets and either weld it back or put some grade 8 bolts in. I could probably just add a small extension to the LH side for additional support. I thought about a spacer on the RH side but, that will put the brake rod at a weird angle. Any suggestion? Craig

When you removed clutch pedal you should have modified brake pedal then. Move foot pad to left or install a car foot pad onto arm.

I wonder if you could heat up the arm and bend it a bitmy5thmopar wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 8:01 pm1964 D100. I've removed the clutch pedal assembly by adding a spacer in place of the pedal.

to achieve your offset without increasing the pedal height
too much?
