How to adjust brake pedal on 67-72 Chevy GMC truck. Lower brake pedal for more comfortable driving
I show you how to lower your brake pedal to make it easier to switch your foot between the gas and brake pedal. I think this is safer and more comfortable because you don't have to lift your entire leg as far to suddenly hit the brakes.
This is for 67-72 Chevy and GMC trucks, but I'm sure the principle and technique applies to several other vehicles.
I also show how to improvise a very simple brake pedal arm "stop" device which makes your pedal come to rest as it should, and also allows you some fine-tuning of the location of the resting point of the brake pedal arm.
For the stop mechanism you'll need:
1 - 2" x 5/16-18 bolt with threads the entire length
2 - 5/16-18 nuts to use as jam nuts on ...

      Thanks Mike. Like every security device, if someone wants it bad enough they’ll get it. The idea is to make it difficult for the casual opportunistic thief. The club is a step in that direction. A kill switch is another step. But I’d rather them see a major hurdle like the club BEFORE they smash a window to get in only to discover it won’t start. I had a club actually prevent a theft before on a different vehicle. They broke in and tried to drill the club lock but couldn’t. Cost me about $100 to fix the break-in damage but that’s it. A smarter thief would’ve done what you suggested and cut the steering wheel. Thieves usually aren’t as smart as you or I.

I checked it out and the pump plus battery combination comes in at £220 which seems like a lot of dough but good to be able to set the required psi. Looking in more detail at the battery pack the lithium battery capacity is just 4000mAh so only about enough stored power to charge a mobile telephone twice which again surprised me.

      @@PedalBikerUK correct, each boat only has 2 chambers. The other valves you're seeing are the emergency blow-off valves in case it gets over inflated.

    I was hoping you would demonstrate how to use the battery powered air pump it comes with. I can’t figure out how it connects.

    I use a used roll around suitcase instead of a big tote. I also use a collapsible tote the fits in the forward compartment for last minute small stuff. I launch from a tall dock by typing a line fore and aft to lower and raise it.

      Cool! After the boat is in the water, you’re still able to easily lower yourself in? That sounds like it could be a challenge.
