Hi Rob,

That's what I meant when I said I had the "Cape" linkage. I believe "Cape
International" UK brought out this linkage before BCS started selling
it. I got it about three years ago but installed it upside down just
like the previous owner had it. The new linkage helped a lot, but it's
amazing how much lighter the pedal is with the link facing up.

Regards,
Dave Russell
