I still kept catching my boot on the rear 4rt brake peadal even after 8 months

so here is a quick fix

take off the folding tip, this bit varies on the facilitys mates you have, either put an m8 by 14mm bolt in a vice and file it down to about 5mm thick and cross hatch the top ,put an m8 nylock nut in the gap between the old mounts on the lever and put the nut in from the top

instant small tip that will roll along any rock you hit.

or if you have access to a lathe turn up a small alloy bolt with a 18mm top counter bore that with a 12mm by 3mm deep top castlate this with a small file and bolt up the same way

works a treat and i have not missed it yet

Years ago I had a 315 and always had the same problem until I broke the folding bit off.

The remaining mounting lug was perfect for my clumsy feet.

I never did replace the folding bit and never caught the back brake by accident again.
