Brake Stop
I,m after a way to stop my brake pedal falling forward.At the moment I,ve just welded a bit of steel onto the end of the mounting bracket and ground a
groove onto it but I'm not happy with that,looks real crappy. Just wondered what anyone has done? I was thinking of putting a nut on the pushrod
and trapping it in the M.C. via summat like the steel cap that generally goes on the end of the M.C.

I welded a little tab to the bearing/bush housing and put a bolt through it vertically that just rests on the floor. Lets you adjust how far back the
pedal lies.
Not a great explaination, but dont have a pic i am afraid.

No return spring, m/c seems to do a fine job. Though you could put one on between the clevis and the m/c body if you wanted to.

Mine's like that, just an L shaped bit on a lock nut on the pedal bolt. The pedal drops onto it and is adjustable to take the play out should
you wish. Really simple too, but not the most elegant solution perhaps.

I used the return spring that came with the Escort pedals and welded a stop for it to pull the pedal onto, Ford thought it needed one.
 
Top mount pedals.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

If you can, put a return spring on. If you have a hydraulic failure or boil your fluid, your pedal will stay at the floor. Not good.
