This one is not the same. 2 levers on a shaft. Pedal pushes long one which turns shaft and twists or pushes the short cylinder levers. Cylinder has max travel of about 1 1/8" so max pedal travel currently is just over 3 inches and I'm allowing for 4 which should have pedal be at approx fact height.

All is located below floor on this although rod is in different spot and there will have to be a bulge over cylinder end of about 1/2 in. Probably make a new floor pan cover to blend bulge all across width. Bigger problem is to figure out what to do with old carpet hole.

With normal operation depending on where things finally adjusted, pedal shouldn't move more than 1 1/2--2 inches absolute max. Don't expect any no fluid and to the floor travel. Again, a work in progress and all is changeable now until tested. Once that's done, angles determined then new levers can be made and welded and things simplified considerably. Will give the actual dimensions I wind up with when that happens.

With my usual schedule of 1-2 hrs work before getting aggravated then 1 week thinking about something, plus the AC refit also going on while things apart, probably be like my switch project and take awhile.
