I got round to looking at the brake pedal height the other day to make it easier to "heel and toe". Removed pedal bar and then adjusted the yoke on the M/C push rod. I managed to get 4 to 5 mm at the push rod which is a lot more at the pedal head. While the lot was on the bench I made a weaker brake pedal return spring as, IMHO the one Morgan fit is far too strong. I would still prefer to lower the brake pedal a tad more but for the moment it's OK and much better for heel and toeing. A couple of pics. Cheers John

Taking the pedal rubber off and sticking on some skateboard decking none slip tape would reduce the brake pedal height feel. I have it on my brake and clutch as it also increases the gap between the pedals for my size 12's. It's been on for 2 MOT's now and still not worn through. About £10 a roll and enough to do about 20 pedals, several friends have been given a piece ;-).

Slight thread drift here but where can I get a Teflon-lined throttle cable? I have seen some available for karts, but they seem rather expensive.

Board tape - great stuff (thanks Colin)! Will wear out the soles of your driving shoes faster than it wears on the pedals

Paint the indent in the throttle pedal John for that OCD feeling of total satisfaction!
