Next, put the pedals in.
Notice in the below picture, Joe used shims on the brake pedal to get it all lined up properly. THIS IS CRITICAL!!! You have to work the brake pedals to make sure the guide pin slides freely and doesn't bind in the guide bushing. The bronze thrust washers need to be placed on both sides of the brake or clutch pedal. Any shims to straighten things out the go outside the bronze thrust washers.
Here is a picture of the shims. You can see the bronze thrust washers in the top of the photo. He selected the right thickness and shimmed everything perfect. When we send you the "Car in a box" we send you extra shims. You will not use all of them! Don't try! They will not all fit. We give you various thicknesses so you can line the balance bar fork shaft up perfectly.
