I've searched the forum but can't find any information/pictures about installing AC Brakes on a RHD 1917 Roadster. Anyone have any experience? Will the modified pedal sold with the new AC Brakes work on a RHD?

I'm asking the same question in a separate thread about Rocky Mountains to see which would be easier to install.

Bailey,
The pedal will not work on our RHD cars. Some of our Aussie blokes who have installed accessory brakes will be able to give you some advice on the rest of the instillation of the AC Brakes.

Regards, John

Bailey, I fitted Bennett brakes to my 1917 shooting brake. A LHD pedal will not work. The offset in the pedal gores the wrong way and the extension welded on the end also has to be set to the right. You will need to add an extension to a RHD pedal. There should be no difference to the dimensions of the extension piece, just a different orientation.

Hope this helps.

Allan from down under.
