I’m building most of the parts for this ride myself, but I made an exception with the brake pedal. Speedway Moters offers a brake pedal assembly with the master cylinder for $150. It looked like a pretty big timesaver to me (versus making one) so I went that route.

I mounted the pedal as far forward as I reasonably could, while still allowing enough pedal travel to get the full travel out of the master cylinder. I heated up the pedal and bent it two inches to the left, in order to free up a little space between the gas and brake pedals.

The speedway unit is built to mount the master cylinder a few inches behind the pedal assembly, but due to the rack and pinion mounting, I did not have room to do it that way. So I decided to mount the master cylinder a couple feet back, it will be underneath the seat.

I made the master cylinder mounting bracket out of 3/8” steel. There is also a brace supporting the lower corner of this bracket, which is hard to see in the picture.

I am a bit spoiled - I like working in my air conditioned garage during the Florida summer. The down side to this is with the doors closed I can’t do much welding, while still being able to breath. I’m just tacking stuff together for now. I’ll do then the finnish welding on a cooler day. Then I will take everything apart and flip it upside down to do all the welding on the bottom, as well as the painting.

Thanks for looking.
