Re: Manual brake conversion

So, I got under there yesterday and had a look. I think the reason the aftermarket pedal hasn't been done is because it would be very difficult.

The issue is space and the triangulated frame section in that area. The brake pedal mounts right between it and its very tight.

I found the attached images from an old ebay listing. You can kinda see what I'm talking about. Keep in mind, the frame wall that the linkage passes through has been cut away and is missing.

I think my best bet at this point is to find a 55+ torsion setup and go from there. Hopefully finding these parts isn't super difficult.

EDIT: I just realized that the tags in the images say 52-54, but the brake linkage is pointing towards the rear and the pedal tab that the linkage mounts to is on the bottom. I'm guessing this was really a 55+ torsion setup?
