(JUNE 1st) APOLOGIES for the lack of recent updates
– my PC gave up the ghost and though I now have a new one I am trying to get acclimatised to it.
CORRECTION: Neil Anderson has kindly run some checks & pointed out that Sebring brake and clutch pedals are ⅜” (9.5mm) longer than standard between the pivot and the activating rod – NOT 1″ as I stated earlier this month. See Your Comments
