In the workshop I've been busy sorting out a rear brake pedal. I've made a pivot up
....and welded it to the frame
I've also made a pedal up
I just need to figure out how to make up the bit you actually press on and add something to operate the hydraulic cylinder. This may be a bit of a problem as interweb research suggests that to get the required ratio (4-1) it will need to be 4inches long. As regards something to press on I started to make a pedal end from some 6mm plate with 4mm cap heads to provide grip. I didn't have the correct drill to cut the 4mm thread so tried using a 3mm (slightly too small). Cut two threads before I broke my cheap tap in the third.
I've ordered a decent HSS tap and the correct size drills so I may give it another go.
