[Roadsters] brakes

[Graeme S.]

There are single sided spot welders, I have one.
However the problem as I see it, is that the firewall needs to be braced 
in such a way to prevent the area of the M/C rod from moving forward in 
relation to the pedal pivot.
The design I am working on will tie the M/C mount[s] in a horizontal 
plane to the dash panel.
As I said, once I can move again, I'll have a play and see how it pans out.
Oh, while the brake pedal is a problem, the clutch is more of a problem 
since it is used far more often.
I already have an uprated brace in the engine bay which takes the place 
of the original pressed vertical brace.
Still get firewall flex.

Regards,
Graeme S.
