    I used the following materials to create the various pieces.

    0.020” Evergreen sheet styrene Firewall mounted brake and clutch pedals.
    0.040” Evergreen sheet styrene Firewall mounted brake and clutch pedals.
    0.080” Evergreen sheet styrene Firewall mounted brake and clutch pedals.
    0.035” Evergreen styrene Firewall mounted brake and clutch pedals. rod
    0.047” Evergreen styrene Firewall mounted brake and clutch pedals. rod
    0.062” Evergreen styrene Firewall mounted brake and clutch pedals. rod
    1/8” o.d., 0.062” i.d. Evergreen styrene Firewall mounted brake and clutch pedals. tubing
    0.060” Plastruct styrene Firewall mounted brake and clutch pedals. hex rod
    0.080” Plastruct styrene Firewall mounted brake and clutch pedals. hex rod

    Here are the dimension of the main parts. In addition to these, I also cut the following parts:
    1 - triangle of 0.080” styrene Firewall mounted brake and clutch pedals. to connect the brake fluid reservoir to the assembly.
    1 - 1/4” long piece of 1/8” tubing with a groove filed lengthwise.
    1 – 9/32” long piece of 1/8” tubing with a groove filed lengthwise.
    2 – 1/16” long pieces of 1/8” tubing
    1 – 5/32” long piece of 1/8” tubing
    1 – piece of 0.047” rod with ends flattened and drilled 0.037” long enough to connect the brake pedal to the right angle bracket.
    1 – piece of 0.062” rod with one end flattened and drilled 0.037” long enough to connect to the other end of the right angle bracket and go into the brake fluid reservoir.
    3 – lengths of 0.035” rod long enough to make bolts with slices of 0.060” hex rod drilled at 0.037” used as nuts and bolt heads.
    2 – lengths of 0.062” rod long enough to make the pivot rods for the pedals and the right angle bracket with slices of 0.080 hex rod drilled at 0.062” for nuts.

    This is the kind of thing I want this site to be famous for. Great job Mark. Put one of these together any time you want.
