Brake Pedal - Whitby | Power Brake Kit

[Padawan]

All,
Quick question on the Brake Pedal...the brake pedal is facing inward...its like your foot could slip downward while pressing on the pedal (I have not bled the brakes but I don't think that will push the pedal foward...to a more upright position)

1) Have you experienced this issue?

2) Is there any adjustment that can be done on the brake booster itself?

3) Do I need to remove the pedal and bend it?

I would not expect the height to change when bled. The master cylinder has a spring to push it closed with or without fluid. Assuming nothing is hanging it up. I also wouldn't expect you need to bend the pedal arm. Looks to me like your pushrod length is too short.

I am not sure how that pad is attached to the stock pedal. Could you put some washers under it to shim it to a better angle?

[toadster]

did you ever figure this out?

I have the same strange problem...

Toadster, Is your brake rod (pedal to booster) adjustable? I didn't buy the Whitby kit, but have the same individual components purchased separately , and I made my own brake pedal arm (same size/shape as the Wilwood pedal). I never had this issue after adjusting the brake rod. Honestly don't remember the length, but I had to cut down the original, if I'm remembering correctly.

ok thanks... yes the rod for the master cylinder I've adjusted

this is the pedal rod I honestly never disassembled it to see if it had any adjustment, from Whitbys' response it doesn't sound like it
I may have to see if I can remove/bend the pedal... what a PITA!

We ended up cutting the brake pedal, adjusting the pedal angle and re-welding the pedal because it was basically inverted after initially installing it. It’s wasn’t a big job…. I had someone with technical welding skills help me do it… probably took us 15 mins. Then you can use washers for smaller adjustments for final fit.

Have an amazing day.
