Abstract

A pedal operating mechanism (10) particularly for the operation of vehicle brake or clutch master cylinders (14, 15) having a mounting bracket (11), a pedal (12) pivotally mounted on the bracket via a pivot pin (13) and an actuation linkage (16) for operatively connecting the pedal to the master cylinder(s). The pivot 13) is adjustably mounted (31, 32) on the bracket (11) so that the operating ratio of the pedal is adjustable. This adjustement may be made by operation of an adjustment means sited remote from the pedal.
