I finally have the pedal assembly far enough along to move on to the dash bar. I lowered the throttle pedal (cut-weld-grind), adjusted the spacing on the clutch and brake pedals (hammerformed), and shortened the push rods, so the brake and clutch pedals are pretty much in place now. I have to get an 8mm die to thread the clutch rod a little deeper, and need to buy or fabricate a new push rod for the brake, with a high-misalignment pivot ball - it works but has a little bind in it where the current ball hits its limit. The clutch pedal is a little under an inch from the firewall at the end of its travel, and the brake will be about the same. I still need to finish grinding the welds on the stirrup then, someday, invest countless hours to grind all these parts into artwork.
I contorted into position and took them for a test drive again, and it's really nice now. Narrow driving shoes will be mandatory for when things get serious. My Nike sneakers' wide soles require a little thought and effort to hit one pedal at a time, but comfort and practicality are not Schism's forte.
Next I start on the dash bar, to set the stage for the steering. If Kez is able to make it in tomorrow, to finish the right side cage front bar, I will get started on the dash bar. If not, I will finish the front bar, and hopefully get to the dash bar by the weekend.
