rat trap and cable??

**Matts HX** · 06-11-2013, 06:33 PM

Guys is there any difference in the v8 brake pedals between the rat trap set up and the cable type? I know the clutch pedal was different. If there is a difference, photos would be great. Please help! Cheers

The pedal changed a few times around ADR's for frontal crash etc. Later ones have a bent arm. Can't remember exact change times. HQ are different to later as well.

Matt,

I think Ozbox told me the only difference was the size of the hole where the pedal attaches to the booster. They made the pin larger in later years but I have no idea when.

I have a HX and the brake is sticking. Would a HQ to HX be different

The hole location varies for bent or straight arms also for HQ style.

Check the bottom of my build page here http://www.mysandman.com.au/forums/s...4-speed/page12 it shows the difference in the pedals.

I converted mine from rat trap to a cable type and very happy with the clutch feel. If your goiung to change from a Rat trap to cable you will need a new pedal, clutch falk, bell housing and thrust bearing and of course a cable
