That brake pedal arrangement shown in photo 100-0636 looks absolutely hazardous to me - like an accident waiting to happen. The pedal is so far removed from the position we all anticipate and expect that the extra time it will take to lift you foot and move it over and down to the pedal can result in quite some road travel distance before the brakes are even applied.

The reason Easamatic had shorter stopping distances than conventioned brakes had nothing to do with the hydraulics or friction materials, it was that the reaction time from pedal to pedal was so much less.

I encourage you to find a better solution with a pedal location that more anticipates a driver's normal reflex action.
