If I recall correctly its 6 1/2” - 6 3/4” from the steel floor to the bottom of the pedal when correct. If it’s to high or low it can stop the system from working correctly. A hard pedal without assistance points to servos not working at all. </div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class="">Rebuild kits for the original boosters are available new from <a href="https://www.customsparesltd.com/" class="">https://www.customsparesltd.com/</a> (best to call them to order) I’ve rebuilt both my servos 8 years ago and they are still going strong.
