[DeTomaso] Pedal Casting?

[mark skwarek]

Ken,
I'll send you the What I am using for master cylinder sizes. I talked to the guys a Tilton and they were very helpful.

 I know about the pedal ratios, I didn't want to dent the wall of the front trunk to make room for clutch MC.  
Also, the ratio of MC bores to caliper piston areas is part of the equation.  It looks like 0.75 MCs and the fairly large Porsche 996 Turbo caliper pistons I am using come out about right.

If you are converting the stock pedal assembly to non vacuum assisted, the pedal effort will increase. Willwood manual pedal assy. is 6:1 and power brakes are between 5:1 and 4:1.

   Hi Les,
      Any idea what you would want for the pedal assembly casting?
      I used a Tilton 7/16 balance bar on the prototype, and it placed
  the MC shafts where some of the webbing is on the pedal side, so I had
  to cut into the webbing.  I found a 1/2 inch Tilton balance bar and it
  is wider, so I can avoid the webbing.  I did basically the same as
  Goran did before me (see attachment).  I like this a lot better than
  something that is in front of the casting, I think Dennis Quela has
  something like that.
  So you are back in California?
