Looking at buying another brake pedal, have had NLR and Ski Inc pedals in the past. Came across a cable brake pedal with a remote master cylinder from Wiggs Derby Parts. Just wondering what the advantages and disadvantages of this are? I tend to run more metric GM cars and like to have some foot room. Just thinking that this would give more foot room with the cylinder mounted somewhere else on the cage. Open to any and all opinions on brake pedals.

. ran one from a different vendor and had all sorts of problems and ended up ripping it out to run a conventional derby setup. The vendor said the only testing they ever did with it was with a pinion brake, he was running drums. I think it is a good idea, but make sure it will work for your application.

I like simple things. With a cable your adding something else that could fail on you. Not saying it will. I been looking at a 2nd set also but I was told by another vendor that same that why add something else that could fail. He said his w body pedals with the resvior beside your foot gives you more then enough room. I have a zerr pedal set up and in my ford's I put a inch block under it to get the resvior up so if z box does move it would kink the line since I have it all the way against firewall almost. Thought of moving the seat back to get more room and bring steering wheel to me.

I have a Chambliss cable brake set up right now, pedal is hard but it stops the car and locks wheels up and the additional leg room is really nice. I think the design with the geometry of the levers is what makes it breaks the cable pedal, some have better designs than others. Smith Metal Works has a nice design along with strong derby parts
