  • Patent number: 5246084
    Abstract: As the automotive market becomes more global, and manufacturers are competing in many markets around the world, the need arises for a means of adapting a left hand drive vehicle to right hand drive and visa versa with a minimum of change to existing components, while at the same time maintaining comparable pedal geometry and compliance with applicable government standards. This invention provides for the flexibility of maintaining the brake booster on the left hand side of the vehicle, although not necessarily in the same location as with a left hand drive vehicle, and communicating with the brake pedal on the right hand side through a torque rod with additional links positioned on it to transfer the motion of the brake pedal to the brake booster push rod.
