The install was relatively straight forward once I figured out what fittings I needed and ordered them.

All the fittings on the old valve are 1/4 NPT to push on. The two supply lines are 1/2 DOT tubing, one of the delivery lines is 1/2 DOT, one is 3/8, the ABS line is 3/8, and the two lines to the gauges on the dash are 1/4. Yeah, that's why I had to draw a picture and detail the needed fittings.

I simply used push on butt connectors to splice the lines. Now that I know the pedal is a permanent addition, I will replace with compression fittings. I didn't have any qualms about splicing or using push on connections since the air lines were originally connected at both ends with push ons. Yes I added one more place to potentially leak, but in my mind I didn't alter the safety element by adding a splice.

I will take some pics later today of the install, and post.

Because the treadle sits higher than the accelerator, the place where my foot finds it is VERY close to the contact point of the old pedal.

Russ, you and I are of similar builds, so I can see why we have had the same impression of the force required. Play with the trig and force vectors for an A Ha ! moment.
