SimmoTR Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 I have a RHD conversion TR6. All the necessary parts are new from Moss, Pedal, Master Cyl etc but the clutch pedal becomes about 2" higher than the Brake pedal. This makes it a nuisance to drive. Does anyone have this problem or any ideas how to remedy it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Schnippel Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Hello maybe the pedals are reversed? greetings ralf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John L Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Slave cylinder rod too long perhaps? Sorry don't have a length it should be, others may have. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Odd. perhaps create your own adjustable pushrod using this https://www.competitionsupplies.com/girling-master-cylinder-pushrod-150mm-length-for-5-16-unf-cylinders And a clevis https://www.competitionsupplies.com/master-cylinder-push-rods-and-clevises Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnC Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Raff may be onto something, although I'm not sure how you could reverse the pedals. As the clutch is self-adjusting, I don't think changing pushrod length would help; your pedal will come to rest in the same place. I'd be looking at the pedal stop, or how the pedal is mounted on the sleeve. But an interesting problem, so please share your progress as others may be able to be more helpful!

SimmoTR Posted December 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 I've had a Facebook friend, also in the UK, who was doing a RHD conversion at the same time as me. He has the same "Phenonium" as me but think he has shorter legs so it doesn't bother him so much getting his left knee caught between the steering wheel and radio console. Ill have to wait till after Christamas but will keep all informed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SimmoTR Posted January 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 After many hours of head scratching by both me and a couple of mechanic friends and coming up with no proper answers I decided to remove the total hydraulic system and put it together on the bench. The only thing I found was the brand new Moss / TRW Master push rod was about 5/16" longer than a Girling one I had here. Re-mounting the Master and bracket with the Girling rod fixed the height problem. A tiny amount at the top manifests into a big problem with the pedal. Many thanks to all of you for your helpful thoughts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
