It's not to bad, just need to know the brake pedal position prior to driving. Being knida short (5'5" fun size), I have plenty of room to adjust the seat. Also I don't need a block on the pedal
I used to drive a Volkswagen Van with a similar brake pedal height, so it's not too much of a difference.
I did have the original brake pedal altered by having the pedal pad re-welded higher and to the left on the shaft. The bracket, as it was constructed, places the pedal about 1/2" lower than Craig's pedal assy. As such, that proved to be a problem as the pedal hit the floor before the mc's travel engaged the back brakes. That's why I went to the '54's pedal. I like the way it has the wording and the bezel (kinda looks 'factory').
