Modded T3PA PRo

I got bored this weekend.

Looked long enough at my TPA3 Pro's and decided that they were not exciting enough!
And this was the result.... I cut the main backing plate from 5mm alloy. Still needs a little reinforcement though. I put a pressure sensor (500psi) and either going to go with a 12bit DSD or use the gorgeous little circuit that @TOPMO3 has designed!

Pots or Hall sensors on the clutch and accelerator, not quite sure yet so any advice would be appreciated.
I didn't use a pull slave cylinder (couldn't find one immediately, so ordered one from the US) and meanwhile used a Yamaha bike caliper which I modified the pads ie. removed the sintered friction pads and modified it to accept dohdoh's. I'm using 92 grade which is a little stiff so I might go to something softer!

Attached a 5th scale shock to the throttle with the seal removed and the piston bored out (no damping) so spring action only with modulated friction from the modified piston

Friction taped the pedals to give it a little more grip and now am progressing to building some sort of cam mechanism for the clutch push slave to give the clutch pedal a digressive feel. Any ideas anyone?

Anyway here are some pics

And caliper mounted with the dohdohs

And shots of the rear...

What is the feel like with the rod end attached directly behind the pedal, but not at a 90 angle?

I as such a specific question as I was researching building a similar setup with a pneumatic cylinder. The build logs I was looking at recommended mounting the rod end at a 90 degree angle, as close to the center of the pedal face as possible. However, the 90 degree mounting situation may be specific the cylinders as they compress at a 1:1 ratio to travel (forgive me if this sentence is naive, my understanding of these topics is only self taught and very loosely at that)

Hello
The feel is non specific to its angle bar the fact that the lower you go the easier the push of the pedal becomes (leverage forces). In terms as to why its not at 90 degrees is quite specific tot he travel of the rod within the master cylinder. If you fit it at a 90 degree angle you will find that it starts to push downwards upon the movement and angles the internal piston upwards which then binds inside and restricts the full amount of travel. If you are substituting the cylinder with a pneumatic cylinder I would suggest building a mounting system that allows the body of the cylinder to pivot thereby avoiding the mentioned issue as it will naturally take its own path. If you need any help let me know. I would be glad to be of assistance...
