Swinging pedals yes/no, maybe?

Mostly I was curious if the Wildwood unit would be easier to install than Herm's kit. I've read other posts which tend to say those rivets in the frame on the orinal MC bracket are not fun to remove. The Wildwood unit just seemed like an alternate choice to the swinging petals, or Herm's kit.

 

If you use a dual master cylinder, Wildwood-type hanging (or floor) setup, they usually come with a proportioning rod between the two cylinders that you can set and leave. That could eliminate the need for a separate proportioning valve between front and rear, if you have discs and drums in that order. They are made to adjust the front/rear brake bias in race cars while on the track.

BTW, I found a set of CJ5 hanging pedals for my ride with the dashboard bracket attached (as well as a steering column and bent steering wheel.) $50 with a $20 refund for the bent parts.

 

Another option is the simple AA dual master cyl. and swing pedals. Very compact, Master cyl. is both brake and clutch. Getting rid of the linkage clutch was a bonus. I run it on my 3a with 4 wheel disc brakes. Only real draw is the single brake reservoir. A manual emergency brake is vital.
Personally, I don't care for a under floor setup. I like an inside the frame exhaust and the under floor parts are in the way.

 

On my home computer I have a picture of water flowing through my doors(?), when crossing Fordyce Creek. I much prefer to know my brake fluid is going to stay high and dry.

 

OK PeterC you can't tell a story like that without a visual...post up the pic! R) R)

 

Here is a better story
