Nollywood you have a custom pedal box, excellent.
Please post a picture up I'm really curious to see.
I'm still scratching my head over how to customise the stock pedal box.
I recently got a used A6 1997 clutch cylinder, the clevis on it is perfect for the 8mm steel pedals the A8 used. Not sure if the cylinder itself is goint to be of use.
I took some pictures to show some of the little problems to be solved. Hopefully its usefull to someone.
I dont know how to put text after each picture so here is a little explanation:
Picture 1 - steel pedals go all the way into the bushing, so will have to be cut along with the bushing. Probably not a problem.
Picture 2 - LHD brake pedal on RHD pedal box. about 12mm has to be cut from the end of the bushing.
Picture 3 - 1997 A6 clutch cylinder, clevis fits LHD brake pedal. A hole needs to be drilled in the pedal for the pin. Will it need a metal bushing like the brake clevis?
Picture 4 - LHD brake pedal and RHD brake pedal together. Separation 73mm. Approx 25mm needs to be removed so they will be separated by just under 5cm when mounted. Is this too close?
Picture 5- LHD clutch pedal and RHD brake pedal together. Separation 98mm.
Again 25mm needs to be removed from the bushings, so mounted separation will be approx 73mm.
Picture 6 - I was thinking about using the existing hole on the LHD brake pedal for mounting the clutch cylinder. Unfortunately it is 20mm further out from the axle than the LHD clutch pedal cylinder mounting hole. This will introduce more travel to the clutch cylinder, or reduce clutch pedal travel. Also the foot pad would not line up to the same position as stock clutch pedal.
Picture 7 - LHD manual pedal box. Clutch to brake pedal separation 75mm.
Picture 8 & 9 - LHD brake pedal and LHD clutch pedal lined up. Unfortunately if the stock cylinder mounting point is to be kept, it would overlap with the brake spring slot, so that would have to be welded up first before the hole is drilled (i dont like this solution).
Other problems not pictured:
1) mounting the clutch cylinder
2) location, mounting and design of over-centre spring. Can we use a stock spring from another vehicle?
3) stock clutch pedal is aluminium to prevent pedal riding the clutch, will a heavy steel pedal cause a problem?
4) brake spring needs to be moved to the right of the brake pedal, it needs to be a mirror image of stock spring. Custom spring?
5) LHD clutch cylinder to slave cylinder hose starts off on the inside, then exits the body through a hole. Is there such a hole on the right footwell, probably not. If not how long will it have to be to go around the firewall to reach the gearbox.
6) clutch pedal sensor mounting has to be welded onto the RHD pedal box.
There are probably more problems, those are the ones I can think of.
