Title: Dimmer Switch Issue
Post by: Chuck W. on April 11, 2022, 02:33:43 PM

On my 1964 CJ3B, I have an interference issue with my headlight dimmer switch. When I push the clutch pedal to the floor, my big foot hits the dimmer switch! I really don't want to move the switch. I am thinking about some type of travel stop on the pedal with the appropriate clutch linkage adjustment. Anybody else have big feet?

Thanks! After driving it some again today, I am pretty sure the clutch linkage needs to be re-adjusted. I have way too much free travel at the top. This jeep is different than my M38, different type pressure plate and the pedal feels totally different.
