Re: How to reduce pedal effort??

Hello-

Shad, it's easy to reduce pedal effort without a power servo. The factory type 1 pedal geomety is about 5.5-1 ratio. I would guess your type 3 is the same. Lengthen your pedal an inch and hold on to your hat!

Yes, that would reduce pedal effort, but increase pedal travel. My goal is to have my cake and eat it, too :-).

I fabricated my own pedals with a 6.4-1 ratio. I need a hydraulic clutch (auto stick car) anyway so I did an entire pedal set. More work than I expected but it turned out decent. I used roller bearings on the pivot shafts with bronze bushings on the ends.

Sounds groovy!
Take care,
