[QUOTE="Jules, post: 111179, member: 88"] TJ, thanks for info - I check the linkage area of the dash but have not looked in detail the area behind the pedals - my flashlite too weak one dark nite! i will do shortly day time. The HAYNES Manual I have is certainly not competent - the diagrams and details are crab - avoid this book seriously. The only possible adjustment I can figure out are the threaded collars for the cross bar. As an engineer, these are for pedal HEIGHT to compensate for wear ( calibrate as you mention...) and like Fabian's need - customisation to his pedal location. Now, if we are talking the same part/component in the brake setup & then I expect you to disagree with this statement - adjusting such collars ( for length ) dun help too much cos we are not changing any leverage points. I looked specifically for them in real and also on the books. Leverage points changes will redefine the effort needed to activate the brakes......IMHO. Just to clarify, if it is relevant to anyone. As mentioned - I am not challenging anyone's knowledge here but rather would like to share a mod which improved things for me and maybe others. Sharing is the word, we forget often and the forum's a great place to do that...like who I told Ludavic to contact as a walking library/sifu..anyhow, each time when someone here click on his seat belt, pls remember. I do, gratefully too. Kinda sad - Someone warned me not to share this....should have done that & to avoid all this misunderstandings....Forums bad 4 health!! :) cheers! [/QUOTE]
