1) The holes in the vertical leg of the L-bracket are 4in from the horizontal leg.
2) The center of the uppermost hole in the pedal arm is 2-3/16in from the closest point of the cross rod. That hole is also centered on the side of the brake arm.
3) The center of the lower hole in the pedal arm is 1-1/2in from the center of the upper hole.
4) The position of the pedal lever is determined by having clearance at the top of the lever to the steering column.
5) FYI, the distance from the lower hole to the center of the brake pedal is 5-1/2in. This results in a leverage ratio of 5.5/1.5 = 3.67:1.
6) The clip on the outside of the pedal crossrod is to hold the return spring. The bottom of the return spring is attached to a hole in the vertical leg of the L-bracket. Its location depends on what length spring you use.
Do you have the dimensions of the brake pedal brackets and the measurements for the new holes to be made in the pedal arm?
