Brake and clutch pedals

[londoner]

This might be a dumb question. I am putting the pedals back in my series 2 Alpine. When I took them out years ago I did not label which was which. They are both identical. Does it matter which pedal I use for brake and clutch or are they both the same?

They are both the same.

They are both the same.

Fantastic! Thanks. Any idea where to get a new clutch master? Most of the usual places are out of stock. Worst case I could rebuild original

Get the original sleeved with brass and rebuild it. I know it's costly, but it's pretty much once-and-done.

If you're not into originality, Westwood has bolt in replacements

Try White Post Restorations in Virginia. They did my Tiger's brake booster back in 2009. They have a lifetime warranty. My booster still works perfectly.

White Post did my clutch master - sleeve & rebuild - in 2017 for $245 total.
Apple Hydraulics sleeved my clutch slave in 2021 for $65 plus $11 shipping. I did the rubber replacement myself using a repair kit from Sunbeam Specialties.

Thanks for the replies. The reservoirs on my originals seem small would it be better to use a non original with larger reservoir?
In regard to the brakes I replaced the brake master with a new one. I purchased one from the UK which did not have the pushrod and when I tried to use the original it was a different bore. I then purchased on from here in the US which even with the offset reservoir interferes with the engine brace! Looking for guidance there too. Many thanks

The early series cars have a remote reservoir that is attached to the firewall and plumbed down to the master. I have some if you need it, just give me a ring on Monday.

Here's a picture if the remote reservoir.

Wow what an engine! What kind of clutch master did you use?

 

[Toyanvil]

The one in the picture is from a Datsun B210, I am now running a Wilwood for the clutch and Mazda for the brakes,

I’m using the same set up on mine
