Yesterday in the mail, my Woodcraft accessories finally arrived. I just couldn’t stand the sight of having non-matching heel guards, so I went ahead and purchased the one for the right side, as well as the rear brake spring, so I can get better action and feel for the brake pedal. I was also able to convince Woodcraft to throw in a couple of delrin buttons for the rear set pegs, since one of them got picked off and the other got damaged in a tip over.
I had to unthread the brake pedal from the master cylinder to get the spring on over the piston screw and rubber boot. After I slipped the spring retainer in place, I put the nuts back on and adjusted the pedal height. Lastly, I dripped some blue Loctite on the master cylinder bolts and screwed the new heel guard in place.
The whole installation process for everything took about half an hour, due to dark garage conditions and my puppy running away with parts. All in all, it went quite smoothly. The set up now looks complete and it’s beautiful!
