The adventure continues...
Today, I got to pulling the pedal box to replace both brake and clutch master cylinders. As with the rest of the brake system, I got lucky with the hard lines and each fitting came off cleanly with a flare nut wrench. There was some cursing as I lay on my back in the footwell wrestling with the steering column, but a little over an hour later I had everything removed. Upon disassembly, the box looked like it was in pretty good condition without any real corrosion. The cylinders themselves even looked pretty good externally, but since the calipers were in awful shape inside, it's probably best just to start from scratch with new cylinders.
The major issue I ran into is that upon removing the clutch pedal, I realized the welded on stud that hinges the pedal to the box with a nut was partially broken (pics attached). So it looks like I need a new clutch pedal! Anyone have one to sell me? These are also the same as X1/9, right? Anyone seen this failure before? I've also pointed to the bolt on the assembly so everyone is clear where it is.
I'll also be replacing all the old cloth braided hose with new stuff from Matt @ Midwest-Bayless, where I also ordered the new cylinders. It looks like all the old plastic nipple fittings are smaller diameter than the hose I was supplied and the same size as the new clutch master fitting. My new brake fittings are the larger size to match the hose. I have an old NOS brake master with a larger fitting, so I'll swap that out on the new clutch master and everything should be fine there.
I'm also considering installing some OMP aluminum pedal covers that I've had laying around while I have the assembly out. They're just slightly larger than the stock pedals and might feel a bit better under foot.
Was hoping to get the whole assembly back in the car today, but looks like that won't happen until I source a new clutch pedal. One step forward, one step back (per usual).
