bulkhead, and if you do<BR>that with the clutch pedal, you lose some of the
throw, which might not give<BR>full movement on the clutch mechanism. I
may be forgetting the situation,<BR>not having worked on that area for years,
but doesn't the stop plate work on<BR>the clutch pedal, rather than the
brake? <BR><BR>I wouldn't use the shorter brake push-rod on a dual

face=Arial>That's my thought too Dave. VW went with the longer rod for a
reason, and I suspect that it was to make sure both circuits had enough stroke
from the pushrod. It probably also takes in the distance of the pedal
traveled, as to why you need 8 7/8ths inches (Bentley) from the top
of the pedal to the bulkhead to make sure either of the circuits will
function in case of a failure.</FONT></DIV>

face=Arial>The stop plate sets the brake pedal and the clutch pedal, keeping
them both in the same plane. You can't set 1 without setting the other. About
the only way to move the clutch pedal out of that plane is to tighten the
cable adjustment more, but then you take away free play.<BR>
