JH.8 - PEDAL BOX

The extruded aluminium alloy pedal box is secured to the chassis scuttle via six horizontally disposed M6

screws, three fixing each side of the box to a vertical bracket, itself bonded and rivetted to the chassis. An steel

pivot shaft is clamped into the pedal box, and serves all three pedals, which are themselves common extru-

sions, with the throttle pedal being a narrower section than that used for the brake and clutch. The brake and

clutch pedals use cylindrical coated alloy trunnions to actuate their master cylinder pushrods, with the bore for

the brake pedal trunnion being machined nearer to the pedal pivot than in that for the clutch pedal. The top end

of each pedal uses maintenance free, self lubricating, plastic pivot bushes, and an extruded footpad is bolted

or rivetted to the bottom end of the pedal. The throttle pedal uses a ball jointed rod, and multiplier lever to

operate a throttle control cable which is routed along the cockpit centre, beneath the gear lever and parking

brake lever trim panels.
