Banshee Master Cylindar and Warrior Brake Pedal
Oops - Cylinder^
The first thing I did was to size up the stuff I had to mount:
Finally, I decided to use the left side Blaster peg and the Warrior pedal and pedal boss. The spacing was driven by the need to get full compression on the Banshee master cylinder (13mm or ~1/2 in.) with the pedal swing available. I worked it out using some stiff cardboard and making several templates so I put the dimensions in this drawing in case anybody wants to try it:
Cut the boss from the Warrior peg:
and ground it to fit the new Blaster pedal:
Tack weld and test fit to confirm that the full range of motion at the back of the pedal will be available (again);
Finish welding the pedal and boss to make a new pedal:
I Scavanged some screw tabs from the "donor frame" that was used for pieces earlier. Ground them to get a good fit on the "new" frame and clamped them in place to weld:
I had to make a decision to give up the mounting tab for the stock "nerf bar". Otherwise the upper mounting tab for the master cylinder would have been too crowded and not quite right. I had to use my cell phone camera and lighting was bad for some of these pics but the mounts for the master cylinder came out pretty good and that plunger on the cylinder is actually straight in line with the MC body.
There are other ways some faster and sloppier, some more refined to get that Banshee master cylinder mounted and reliably working with a pedal. I really want this to look like it was made that way once I finally get to powder coat the whole thing. B)

I still have to mount the rezzi, but I'm waiting 'til I get the engine out of the frame (maybe tday) 'cause most of the welding will need to be done on the inside.
