Say gents, does this look like I can move the pedals one more slot forward? Or will I have to drill holes? The pic of bolts under looks like it's all the way forward? Are there two bolts or four? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/12/21/IMG_6917.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/12/21/IMG_6916.jpg)

The later pedal box that you have, the original 2012 item had "M3W" laser cut into the pedals and a recall against it for failure, is attached as far forward as the mounting holes allow. Have a check of how much clearance there is between the front of the master cylinders and the chassis tube, you may have a replacement later chassis as well that allows more forward movement. If there is room you will need to drill extra mounting holes in the floor. Just seen your other thread about bolt in A frame, so you don't have a later chassis, in which case the pedal box is as far forward as it goes.

Okay, thanks, I will check and see. I think I have a more dire problem. There is fluid leaking out of the clutch damper at the back of pedal. Circle below. I think this fluid is corrosive, right? Hence the rust? Is there a way I can fix this just by tightening, or do I have to remove and replace o ring? thoughts? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/12/21/clutch-pedal-leak.png)

if it is brake fluid is will damage paint. However, it will not cause rust

That's the clutch master cylinder, same as the later 4 wheel Trads, I've tried in the past but couldn't get seals, so best to replace anyway
You have some pretty significant surface rust on that floorpan & I also suspect where it contacts the lower edge of the chassis frame, it really needs taking off the trike and treating properly

working on the rust problem. The Morgan shop here in Detroit is pricing the cylinder for me. here is a morning's work sealing with rustoleum. If I don't get the leak solved, I'll have to do it again ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/12/22/half-painted.jpg)

I would have been tempted to pull the bottom plate out and dip it in a rust dissolver solution and then paint. That rust was pretty extensive and a coat of rustoleum will not keep it at bay for long

The black baseplate looks much better than the original photo, how did you apply the rustoleum?
I have been doing some tests with rustoleum and not been too impressed , maybe I am using it wrong !
