Clutch and brake pedals substitute

Post by gubben »

The brake (I got the spelling right now :lol: ) and clutch pedals in my SV are replaced to a set of more modern and "hanging" pedals :cry: . Besides it's totally wrong, only a monkey would manage to operate them. So I have to do something!

One idea (because it seems very difficult to find the original) is to buy a set of "after war Minor" pedals (http://morrisminorspares.co.uk/imagesea ... catpage136) and modify them. I also have to design a new bracket bolted to the chassis. I noticed that a separate bracket has been discussed in this forum - but have anyone gone from word to action?

I'm in desperate need of really good pictures or drawings of the original pedals. Please, anyone?

Here are the clutch and brake pedals on my 1934 SV saloon.

Thomas,

Peter's clutch pedal is exactly with you need. His brake pedal is slightly different because it has the threaded hole at the bottom to take the hydraulic piston actuating rod (hisd car is a 1934 model, so has hydrauic brakes). The clutch pedal you need has exactly the same lower end as the brake pedal - wsith a small hole for the pedal return spring. These pedals are not that difficult to find, and with a little help from Register members, I'm sure we can find you a pair and avoid having to fit non-standard pedals.

I mentioned the return spring. had one and then attached to a lug that is bolted to the gearbox about 3" in front of the pedals. If you don't have this, let us know!

Finally, I assume that your gearbox has the correct cross-shaft and bushes shown in Peter's pictures?

Can anyone help Thomas out?
