Re: Adjusting pedal height for Hydraulic clutch

Miss matched parts that weren't designed to work together seldom work as hoped for.

I'll probably get a smackdown from Ricky but hope his time he understands the why of my following comments

Kugel designed the system to work with a specific clutch master cylinder and offers a few different bores. when you get away from that and cobble things together you end up with a mess. To make that master cylinder work with that bracket and pedal you have to cut the pushrod off at the right length to thread it into the supplied clevis and hopefully have the master cylinder in perfect alignment with the spot the clevis mounts on the arm. That is how you make it adjustable and how you make it work. Even then you might not get the correct pedal travel or height because the master stroke may be way off for what the pedal assembly is designed for.

I'm not finding a stand alone brake pedal bracket making me wonder if that isn't a second brake pedal bracket.
