It is 8 - I had a 5HP24 in bits last night and checked

Goran - is that m/c you made the wooden mockup for not a D2 one then? I didn't check the number tbh.

Hi Mikki, yes that's the MC that was with the wooden mock-up. I can dig out the part number although I may have given the paperwork to Mike. I designed that mock up in Autocad to have the same throw as the stock D2 MC and clutch pedal. I think I uploaded the drawings in another thread but I can upload them again.

Hello sorry I've not really been on, I've been very busy at work but I've not forgotten my car and it moved tonight under its own power. not a proper road test i've still got a few things to do. clutch works but can be better i'll fine tune the ratio I've got adjustment holes and I've not fitted a clutch switch yet, driveshafts I've knocked up to get me up and running. master cylinder is mini cooper £7.79p , pedal is a modified audi

I really like your solution!
Much more elegant than mine, in my attempt I had to move the brake pedal spring to the other side of the brake cylinder well, and make an additional aluminium bracket for the clutch master cylinder.

Are you planning on chopping down the brake pedal pad to standard size or is it ok as it is, not getting in the way?

Did you go without an over-centre spring? Does it matter much?

I’ve not looked into cutting and moving the pedals over yet this is just my first prototype, fitting the footrest in would be nice. I’ve not bothered with a overcentre, just a small return spring

I’ll try and find a picture that shows the pivot point mounting mate

I have shrunk and moved the brake pedal. To keep factory pedal spacing (ie B5 / C5) the clutch pedal will interfere with the foot rest, so trimming that down will be necessary to maintain an OE look. Since its made of plastic and carpet, that's actually going to be more of a challenge than making the clutch pedal work!
