These casting numbers do not match my pedals at all - casting number of
1990300 verses 1224677 - LHD=20
1229806 for RHD. Any ideas what 1990300 was suppose to fit? Can you =
send
me a photo of your pedals and the guesstimate of the space behind them =
to
the firewall? Anyone else have a opinion?
Thanks

I see all this wasted foot well space and now wonder if I have the right

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

There doesn't seem to be much adjustment available for pedal height =
except
the two holes on the foot pedal, which gains / costs you @ 1 1/2" of =
height
according to Section K of the Tiger Workshop Manual. If the goal is to =
have
all 3 pedals' height the same that's the base line... whichever hole you
choose, and adjust the throttle pedal height to match the brake and =
clutch
height. I don't think the original brake and clutch rods were =
adjustable...
at least the diagram doesn't show it... but later / aftermarket cylinder
pushrods may have an adjustment there.=20
You're right, imo, the travel is far more than needed for full clutch /
brake engagement, But with the Tiger tunnel mods it gets a bit tight the
closer to the firewall the pedals get. I'm a little guy; the folks with =
big
feet will have issues the lower the pedals. As it is it's easy to hit =
the
brake and throttle at the same time until one gets used to the car.=20
Anything can be accomplished with a drill press, but stock height, =
sadly,
appears to be fixed.

<DIV>There doesn't seem to be much adjustment available for pedal =
height=20
except the two holes on the foot pedal, which gains / costs you @ 1 =
1/2" of=20
height according to Section K of the Tiger Workshop Manual. If the =
goal is to=20
have all 3 pedals' height the same that's the base line... whichever =
hole you=20
choose, and adjust the throttle pedal height to match the brake and =
clutch=20
height. I don't think the original brake and clutch rods were =
adjustable... at=20
least the diagram doesn't show it... but later / aftermarket cylinder =
pushrods=20
may have an adjustment there. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You're right, imo, the travel is far more than needed for full =

brake engagement, But with the Tiger tunnel mods it gets a bit tight =
the=20
closer to the firewall the pedals get. I'm a little guy; the folks =
with big=20

car. </DIV>

appears to be fixed.</DIV>
