MURPH'S LOWER PEG BRAKE PEDAL ISSUE

[RICHKAWI]

I installed these pegs on my '15 C14 and am very happy with the foot positioning. Lowering the shift lever was an easy fix. Lowering the brake lever has proven to be much more difficult. I turned the adjusting bolt all the way in, but that didn't lower the lever enough. The adjusting bolt seems to be too long, as there are still a few threads above the lever body. I can source another (shorter) bolt or should I just remove it altogether?

I'd like to hear thoughts from the collective.

Wrap a wet rag around the upper part of the pedal and then heat it up with a torch so you can bend it to suit. Previous member did that on a C10.

Think I recall that you can remove the nut on the master cylinder shaft to lower the pedal more.

 

[RICHKAWI]

Thanks to both of you. Removing the nut won't help because the threaded shaft has bottomed out against the brake pedal assembly with about 3/8" of exposed thread. Shortening the shaft by cutting it is an option but may still leave the pedal too high up.
Seems the best fix will be to bend the brake pedal. I ordered a new one to bend just in case I end up breaking or screw up in some other way.

RICHKAWI - I am having the same issue. Can you share if you found a solution?

I went with AST peg lowering kit, which moves the whole assembly as a unit. No monkeying around with the brake pedal, and (sorry murph) was cheaper then murphs lowering pegs.

Me, too but I had to dremel a gap in the pipe heat shield for clearance.

Yep, fortunately AST provides a template for trimming off the required material. O guesswork involved.
