Red face Oh bother

I like the way you have done that Mark

Been thinking about the pedals & my clumbsy feet

Yep, guessed it right......................Chucked my 2 sets out with the scrap about a month ago

At a guess, I dare say Escort ones will do the trick

Hello,
Can someone let me know the clutch pedal distance between the pivot point and the foot pad?
I think that the quadrant used at the Sierra have a radius of 45 mm, can you confirm?

Thanks in advance for your time.
Regards,
Cobra289

Tying ya self in knots and hanging by ya toe nails trying to fix stuff.
It's always amazed me that when they build these ships they take no account of how to fix them when they go wrong..
