Z1000 rear brake

Folks
This is the brake pedal on my thou registered as 1978 .
The V5 confirms the frame has been replaced with one without a dedicated Kawasaki number so I cannot be certain it is a MK2.
The diagram on Zpowers site differs as well so what have I got here?
Cheers.

Hi Philippe
the whole bike is a lash up hence the question.
Frame has been stamped DA347 in the usual place so no help at all.
looking like it's the wrong pedal.

Hi
give us some more pictures, maybe that might help to determine the frame and other bits.

Its not an A1, A2 or B2 brake pedal but does look like a Z1r pedal.

what's the engine number hank? if its kztoode.... that indicates a z1r, the brake pedal assembly supports the theory, the re-stamped frame D might lean towards z1r too?? can you add some more photos? cheers m

Hi swirl.
Back of the shed. Whole thing is a complete lash up of bits and bobs. Bought it for engine, frame and z1B bodywork. Have spare front and rear 17" setup so was going to monoshock it.
Engine is a MK2 and was buggered so I've spent a ruck on rebuild. Got other projects as you know so just putting it back on the road as a complete bike for bimbling about on.

Folks
I am convinced it is the pedal. The pivot is roughly 63mm long but the pedal 56mm as the picture shows. I expect if a Z1000 A1/2 pedal is measured it will be 63ish
