Pedal Assemblies

[rip]

looks like the biggest problem would be the steering column. I think its in the way. Don't know if theres enough hieght. But if you can fit the normal 6.2?:1 pedal ratio in there the smaller one, plus the master should be too bad.

Anyone?

I've been searching through the old mag. but it seems like more people used the CNC styled pedals. and they look a bit smaller.

Pardon my ignorance, but what are the advantages to any of these pedal assemblies? Or, what is wrong with the stock pedal assemblies?

well nothing

it's really my own "doing it right" thing. Figured with the new brakes I'm going to have I need a new master cylinder; and because of the combination of brakes I hope to use, and a lack of MC that will work well, I figured the dual MC brake thing would work. That way I can also control the brake bias.

See I been re-reading the posts inwhich people have gone through the trouble of putting porsche brakes on. And then having the head ache to figure out which MC to use. Then to shell out the $$$ amounts of cash for a porsche part, well maybe not this time but the next time around, if they found one.

I wanted an alternative that wasn't porsche, that was as good but le$$. Learning that wilwood and tilton both make brake pedal assemblies I've been toying with the idea of using one of these.

Now you may be thinking what brake combination could this guy want that will cause such a weird thought. Well I will be using 4 pot Rx7 front calipers and probably CB or even So Cals rear brakes. And because of the large difference between caliper sizes, volume needed, and the control of bias; I thought the break idea was a good thing. In the end I hope for a cheaper way to get brakes just as good as a porsche.

I have also considered this type of brake/pedal solution..
But is the MC big enough??

I think Tilton's MC is 21 or 22mm.. that is OK, but not BIG...

I love the apperance of the Tilton's and would by them, if i'm going for it..

Interesting answer. Thanks.

I, too, shied away from Porsche brakes with all of the talk on master cylinders and proportioning valves. I ordered and should be receiving in the next few days KG-based brakes drilled in a 5x100 pattern for all four corners. I figured in a light car like my 1302, it'll be plenty of stopping power -- although some people profess the too-much-is-never-enough theory -- and without any other issues attached.

Of course, we'll see once everything is installed if my reasoning in reasonable.

I have 993TT discs and calipers on my car, with 944MC, but it's still a project car so I have no experience with it yet...

Yea, I'd like to take my car out to the tracks everyonce awhile, not to really compete, but more to drive and have some fun. I'll have a 120Hp type IV motoro done soon and need to stop, plus been looking at rotarys for awhile. And who knows what the future holds.

The main problem I saw with the stockish disc brakes is that they were still single planed rotors, no vents. They will still stop you, but in a daily driving situtation inwhich most new car on the road can out stop you I figured bigger is always better when it comes to brakes.
