stupid question, are you sure you havnt got it fully adjusted instead of no adjustment???

are the adjuster nuts all the way undone??


Was just about to post that...I think you actually have the nut all the way, rather than out because the pedal sits higher the more thread can be seen through the firewall.

So bolts are where the plastic starts from the thread? If so, sounds like you have a shorter cable...what car did the conversion come out of?

the pipe on your firewall plate is to long, it needs to be at the same length as the factory pipe on the firewall..
