Default Just fitted a paddle clutch

Ive just fitted an Helix paddle clutch and the pedal doesnt feel right. It seems as the pedal isnt moving the clutch arm enough. I havnt dont the quadrant conversion yet.

Is this about right for a paddle clutch with standard pedal? I was hoping I would be able to get it to the bodyshop as it is for now

Sounds like you should have done the pedal/quadrant conversion mate, it gives you more travel lol

Thats what I thought. The car has no dash or interior and I did plan to do it anyways but I was hoping I could get it to the bodyshop as it is for now. Never mind.

On another note, When you stripped your seats did you ever get to the bottom of the staple problem as im currently rebuilding mine. I think they will be ok just glued but my mate chris (BRAMMER) says they will come apart over time.

Cheers.
