Brake pedal mods

By BryceKat in Avidfoxflyers General Hangar,
Stock Avid/matco geometry brakes Suck! I'm guessing the hole for the cylinder attach point on the pedal was drilled at the factory. On my pedals, the attach point is 2 inches from the pivot point and the brake pedal dimension is 2.5 inches. That's poor geometry according to Matco.  I need the 2 inches to be 1 inch on the cylinder attach point http://ultralightnews.com/features/images/matco/matco-4.jpg It appears there is room to redrill my pedal, which I'm going to.  Has anyone done this before-just redrilling for the attach point?  What where your results?  Thanks,  Bryce
