Full Version: What Pedal Set Should I Buy?
GlamisDunes.com > Sandrail Forums > Sandrail Tech
kcpaz
It's a mid-travel car with Tatum discs front and rear. 2 piston in the front, and 4 piston in the rear. This is a budget build, so I want to keep the price under control....but at the same time, I would rather spend a few more bucks to get a nice piece, then save a few bucks and get a piece of crap. Also, any suggestions on where I should get it from???

CNC, Kartek

I need specifics... like what model will go with my brake set-up.
kcpaz
BTW, I am going to use a wilwood bias valve, and turning brakes

Do you want swing or floor mount?

floor mount

CNC floor mount like the one above. Two Master Cyls means one to each end of the car - Nice to have if you get air in the lines or one fails for some reason.
THen you just turn the knob at the base of the pedals to adjust the amount of throw in each so you can apply 70% braking to the rear and 30% to the front or what have you.
The Clutch pedal comes with the slave also.
Gas Pedal is easy as well.

There ya go.. go get them and have fun. They are not expensive!!!

TIP - If the package you get is opened or looks opened - before you leave the place your buying them - Inspect the threads for the brake lines carefully.. I went through 2 sets and was gonna get the shaft - but Revenge stepped up and got me the refund..

depends where youre at.I live in fullerton and have been going to moore off road in anaheim they have lots of pedals in stock.Also been to makenzies and they too hae some nice pedals in stock(more of what you are lookin at)

both great places

also....get the tops that screw on, they are a different top. makes it easier to add fluid, bleed brakes.

And another thing I learned...Kartek has check valves that screw into the back of the resorvoir, then connect the line. Maintains positive pressure in the lines

(you can get rectanguler reservoirs too)

Or if you choose to run a single reservoir for the brakes you can use one of these setups...

Get the large dual reservoir.



Unless you like to live dangerously.

If I get the large dual reservoir, can I do without the bias valve???
Middy
How much do you expect your car to weigh when its done?

IMHO I think that if its a lighter car (under 1800#s) the dual rezzies are overkill. Obviously an added safety item with the dual rezzies and valve but if your doing it on a budget its not a must have.

Our car has the single rezzie on it, weighs about 1700#'s and I have no problems with stopping it with this set up.

Dual Rezzies are $50 more just buy the Dual. I know I just priced them and that was the difference. Ordering them Monday.

I just heard that i have to buy a different fitting to a 7/8" because i have Tatum 4 piston brakes..........is this true? i'm not sure what size the setup i have right now is, it's CNC from kartek like the one above with a single res. Brake and clutch assembly.

I was told i could just take it to kartek and they'd switch it out for me.
kcpaz
anyone know the price on the CNC dual reservoir??? I know the Ja-Mar dual reservoir is $255 through Moore Parts. Is the CNC similar in price?? Also, how much for the clutch set-up. Just trying to get a total....you know, for the wife icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif boxing.gif boxing.gif icon_biggrin.gif

Cool, thanks for your help on this thread "LovesDunes" dude.gif
How much for the clutch pedal and slave
LovesDunes
They start at $130.00 and that includes the slave cylinder.

We've had constant problems with CNC pedals. I switched to Jamar and haven't had a problem since. mainly because the reservoirs are machined billet vs cast aluminum. Anyway, if you want to use Jamar pedals i can help you out. Best prices available along with a warranty.

I already decided I want to use Jamar pedals instead of CNC. If you could hook me up that would be great. icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif What number should I call to order from you??? I have had a few bad experiences with Kartek lately. It seems like they don't like taking phone orders anymore blink.gif I don't know what happened. They used to be so helpful. Anyway, I would rather order from another forum member whenever I can.

Reservoirs leak, seals keep going out, two sets have had reservoirs snap off. After dealling with in on several cars i just switched. With Jamar i can deal directly with the owner, he ships them almost immediately, he knows what i'm thinking without me even finishing my sentence.

I like dealing with the owners of the product. That's why we've always delt with king over fox, PRP & Racecraft vs Beard, etc. I like dealing directly with the owners of the companies from whom i buy.
LovesDunes
WOW I have never had those problems. I feel like sometimes I am missing a bullet on things. I will count my blessings I guess. How come you don't buy your CNC pedals from CNC? As a builder fabricator I figured you would be able to. I totally agree with dealing direct with the company. Sucks to go threw a middle man.

icon_biggrin.gif my 2 cents... go with a CNC pedal series "124" and get the easy fill caps #1458. Get the clutch in 3/4, and the brake in 7/8. Budget wise you can use the 7/8 single M/C to push the front and the rear.. just tee it straight to the front ** no residual valves to the front** on the line to the rear.. with cutting brakes** run a two pound residual valve to each side after the cutting brake. W/O cutting brake just run a single 4 pound residual valve to both rear calipers. I believe the kit #CNC-124CX1458 is about $240.. and also comes with a slave. I would go with this setup, (Jamar has been known for problems) nothing more, nothing less. my two cents.. NICK thumb.gif thumb.gif
