cyrus Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I have a 1972 240z I am swaping to a manual 6 speed. The car was an auto. I went to the junkyard and found a 1970 240z and a 1973 240z. I pulled both the clutch and brake pedals on both cars. The pedals looked exactly the same so I bought the 1973 pedal that were nicer. After I installed them on my car I noticed the brake and clutch pedals are about .75" apart. This can not be right. Am I mad...!? ps I searched already.

strotter Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Yeah, that sounds about right. I have a '72, and I'd guesstimate they're 1" apart. Not really a problem; I, at least, tend to work the left side of the clutch pedal, and the right side of the brake. If you're uncomfortable with them that close, they're mild steel and will take a bend nicely without heating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Good to know that they bend. I hate braking and accelerating at the same time! Anyone ever shorten these things? They are way too close to the floor... Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrus Posted July 9, 2004 Author Share Posted July 9, 2004 ok here is the answer 70-72 -thin "straight" pedals 73-? -thin curved pedals 280 -heavy curved pedals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony240ZT Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I know this is an old thread, but I'm trying to clear things up here. I have an unknown year brake and clutch pedal setup in my `72. The clutch and brake are too close for comfort at the moment and I'd like to get this corrected. Can anyone chime in on what I have currently what I need to replace it with to get the correct layout. I'm assuming I have later model pedals here in an older vehicle?
