[TR] TR6 Brake pedal height

[Bob Danielson]

On my '75, the clutch & brake pedal are just about dead even. I replaced
everything that attaches to those two pedals last winter and I can't think
of any adjustment for them.

The go pedal is a little higher but that was my preference when I
re-installed it after putting in Art Lipp's bushing kit for the shaft. The
bracket on the end of the accelerator shaft gives you the option of moving
the pedal height up or down. You just want to make sure you still have 100%
throttle opening when pushed to the floor.

The brake pedal of our '76 TR6 sits about 2 3/4" below the level of the
clutch pedal, and almost  1" below the accelerator pedal. It  makes for some
awkward pedal action, and I'd like to get it higher. Is the rod into the
vacuum booster adjustable, and able to move the pedal up higher at rest? I
can't really tell from the Haynes manual. Rotors, pads, rear drums, linings
and master cyl. are all new and drums are adjusted as snuggly as prudent,
and system bled.  This configuration has existed since we've had the car,
and before I did all this brake work.
Any insights or suggestions appreciated.
