I have to make a decision on where I want the brake pedal in my 30 coupe. The steering column is smack dab in the way. I am either going to have to put a joggle in the pedal arm and go to the left or the right. I figure on long trips the pedal on the left may work out better. Any pics of your setup?
No pics but mine is to the left and curves back over. Its tight but I'm running a 4 speed. I used a late 60's Camaro pedal assembly for the clutch and brake.
in my `28 tudor the brake pedal comes out through the angled toeboard just to the right of the column. it is an exact copy of Pete & Jakes....sorry , no pictures. maybe i'll snap some if no one else does
My husband has a '30 model A. He used a late model, manual mustang master cylinder (say that 10 times fast!!) and brake/clutch pedal out of a '40 ford and it lined up perfect.
31 32 I'm a left foot braker, but the pedal is easily accessed by the right foot. Room for a clutch pedal if necessary. A little easier in the 31 than the 32 since I plan to sink the upholstery into the vertical cowl panel next to your foot. I was kinda surprised at how much foot room I lost when I upholstered the 32. Didn't realize I'd been resting my left foot against the cowl panel and enjoying the extra 2"-3" of room until the upholstery panel took the room away.
Ya don't need power brakes on these little cars. Fwiw - 7/8" Mustang/Torino type M/C on both cars. (Outlets on opposite sides, Torino points at the frame, Mustang points at the trans.) Disc/drum on both cars. Here's an easy brake pedal return spring.
I bought a power boster style pedal assembly from Speedway for a Chevy farm truck, 1958 style. I put it in my 31 coupe with a section of 2 x 4 tubing that I pie cut to put the pedal tot he right of the stock A column and to orient it to "square" withth chassis. worked great. running a 300 Buick v8 with powerglide trans. hope this helps. mark
