    Anybody use this setup.Speedway has a setup with the master reversed.Thought about making my own setup.I don't have room under the floor with the trans and exhaust.I really do'nt want to have it sticking out on the firewall.

    I did this set up on my 51 Chevy. Did it for the same reasons.

    Built my own and it worked out fine, I am a Big guy and I needed all the leg/foot room I could save and I had to put a "S" bend in the pedal to get enough travel and strenghten the firewall.:cool: Golgotha.

    I made one a while ago that used a normal hanging pedal but had the servo & master across the car very similair to the Kugel 90 degree type you see below but a lot less spendy, Made mine from a quadrant mechanism that i found under the dash of a VW Golf, I think it maybe called VW Rabbit in the US, It was quite simple to make, I will have a look to see if i have any pics.

    Made our own, M/C is mounted backwards. These pics were early in the construction, before it was finished. There are gussets etc and it's welded to the tube. The tube goes side to side under the dash.

    This awesome guys! Anyone else with pics, measurements, or prints? I'm a new owner of a '48 ford coupe and I need to keep the frame clear for exhaust.

    '70s Dodge Tradesman vans used that set up.
    Don't know if they used it on anything later.
