Brakes from scratch

I'm now at the mechanical final stages of my build. I found a location to mount the enormous 10" master cylinder. The problem is that it has to be up on the firewall kind of high. This leads me to my question. Does anybody know of a long (preferably the longest) brake pedal?

I can get brake pedal material in 24 footers at the corner. 60 footers need special ordered.
How long do you need ?

Try looking at some vans, seem to be similar to your setup.

 

"10" master cylinder". i'm thinking you mean brake booster? with a real long pedal arm you might end up with a very touchy boosted system. have you thought about going manual brakes? it would save you a lot of space issues

 

Thanks for the tips bros they really helped.

Generally manual brakes usa a 6 to 7 to one ratio.
power brakes use a 4 to 5 to one radio.
