Default Pedal height difference, clutch vs. brake

Can someone tell me how much further the clutch pedal is forward the brake pedal,..from the middle of the pedals. My delta is 1.25",..seems it should be more.

Thanks,
Wes

Mine are at the same level - always have been. However, I have manual brakes.

Clutch pedal is slightly higher than the brake pedal. Manual brakes.

Same level from what I've seen.If it is coming up too high its probably the bumper at the top limit brace.The brace itself can bend.If the bumper is gone and your adjusting the proper 1/2 inch freeeplay at the top of pedal you could be over releasing the clutch.Some cars had a quick action position but I think that was C2s.
