DESCRIPTION
The pedal assembly is of the pendulum type mounted in an individual bracket attached to the bulkhead inside the car. The master cylinder, push rod can be attached to one or the other of the two holes in the pedal lever and this will effect the’ position of the pedal pad by approxi-mately 1 1/2 in. (4 cm). The pedal return spring is mounted on the master cylinder push rod between the pedal lever and the bulkhead while the pedal stop is incorporated in the master cylinder.
