Re: Brake pedal height

Didn't have time to type this before:

before I built my firewall dual pedal set I measured all the cars in my fleet including a bone stock '53 AD that ran when parked. With the seats and tilt columns adjusted to suit me. that included 3 gm trucks, a Camaro and a b5.5 VW

Distance from floor to pedal, pedal travel, distance from pedal to wheel, distance from wheel to edge of seat, distance from pedal and wheel to lumbar of seat. All were very close to each other and a '99 sierra and '53 AD were pretty much identical - so that is the set of measurements I used.

It works OK, clutch could have been a touch lower yet the travel is nearly identical to '99. I think the AD puts you more upright. I'm 5'11" though

And BTW the 2 pedal in that '53 were the same height
