Not sure if all the linkage parts connection the brake pedal to the master cylinder are assembled correctly the way I have them here. In looking at the diagram found on pg:36 of the P15 Passenger car parts list manual, (pic #2 attached) it shows part #47 (pin) which is the connecting bolt and it appears to be coming in from the left side of the pedal (as I have it positioned here in pics 1 and 3, then the brake pedal return spring clip appears to go on to the pin next between the head of the pin bolt and the actuator rod eye bolt, then through the pedal shaft itself, (that's all that's shown on the diagram), ..next I have a washer then the castle nut..( cotter pin required but not shown ). I took this apart 4-5 months ago, and it was so basic at the time, I thought no need for a pic or sketch,....WRONG !! of course now I can't remember squat....( so before finding the diagram I was trying to insert the bolt from the opposite direction).. So in reference to the diagram shown in pic #2. the parts look to go together as I have them laid out in pic #3.... I do know that when I took this apart there was only a single washer, and now I'm guessing where it was. No washers are shown on the diagram (but they also don't show the castle nut either, course in the picture those parts would be hid behind the pedal shaft itself..... pg:32 of the P15 parts list manual does show the following parts in the master cylinder brake push rod section: 1ea push rod, 1 ea push rod end, 1ea push rod pin/bolt, 1ea hex nut, 1ea WASHER, and 1ea cotter pin.....so it sounds like a single washer is correct for this...and having it located underneath the nut would make the most sense to me. If anyone out there know's for sure or can possible take a look for me to confirm if this layout is correct...It would be most appreciated... Thank you. Steve

Does anyone have a good picture of the 48 D24 throttle linkage showing the bellcrank detail?I have reassembled all of my engine, but the linkage doesn't seem to be correct to me. All of the pictures I took before disassembly show the rods, but none show the bellcranks.

Please forgive my ignorance.... I'm learning as I go. Replaced the clutch and throw-out bearing in my '47 Plymouth. Put the linkage back together (at least I thought I did) and now the clutch pedal practically falls down. With the last inch or so of movement, it will engage the clutch. I took of the rod going to the fork and the small return spring and that was it. The pressure plate is the same, I didn't take off the pivot, the clutch arm and over center spring weren't touched. Nothing regarding the adjustment should be different and I've taken the clutch pan back off twice to check that my fork is attached to the bearing and that the pivot is in place. I have no pride left and I'm hoping it's something simple that I'm overlooking or doing wrong.
