Step 1 – Remove foot pad
Take out the 2 hex screws on the brake pedal foot pad.
Remove the foot pad from the brake pedal.
The clutch and accelerator foot pads can remain in
place.
Step 2 – Support the pedal assembly
Use a suitable cardboard box to support the main
pedal
assembly whilst working on the underside of the
unit.
Missing this step out makes it much more difficult
to work on the inside of the pedal assembly.

Step 6 - Install TrueBrake
TrueBrake consists of three parts:
•Cylinder
•Buffer (choice of 2 sizes)
•Spring
There are two sizes of buffer cap supplied with
TrueBrake.
The two sizes determine the amount of pedal
movement before the pedal engages with the
polyurethane
buffer. The small buffer cap gives 3mm
more movement than the large buffer cap.
The author
personally prefers using the small buffer
cap. This gives the pedal a little more travel before it
engages, more like a
sporty road car than a full-on
race
car.
Assemble the three TrueBrake components into a
stack.
•Cylinder > Buffer > Spring

Insert the stack into the upper spring housing as
shown.
Re-insert the lower bolt to secure the True Brake in
place.

Tighten up the nut and bolt.
Now is a good time to check the feel of the pedal.
It’s easier to change your mind now
about which
buffer size to use!
Step 7 – Re-install Brake Pedal Unit
Place the brake pedal unit back in the main pedal
assembly.
Connect the red, white and black wires to the
matching wires in the True Brake connector.
