Brake pedal position ?

[Jeff Balazs]

Hi Guys;

I am trying to figure out how best to determine the proper at rest position of my brake pedal. I have a 52 B-3-C with a 4 speed Fluidrive. I have fitted 4 wheel discs with a Grand Cherokee M/C and am in the process of completing this installation. Currently the cab is off.

The original adjustable rod that goes between the pedal assembly and the M/C is too long and needs to be shortened ...... but I am not sure how much? I do know that the position of the brake pedal in relation to the clutch pedal is different but I am having trouble figuring out how to come up with the correct position. Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jeff

The brake pedal sits up an inch or two above the clutch pedal. However, with no cab in place it'll be difficult to determine the at rest position. The pedals rest against the bottom of the floor. I suppose if you can determine where the clutch pedal will be sitting, based on where it is with the throwout bearing touching the clutch and then pull it back about an inch, then you can reference your brake pedal off of that. If you can do that with your clutch pedal, then get the brake pedal so that the arms are equal and and level, you'd probably be pretty close. Just make sure you've got some adjustability so that you can fine tune it after the cab is installed.

Merle;

That is what I was thinking might get me close. I will try this and keep some adjustment available in the rod.
