Re: Brake & Clutch Pedals and the Toe Board on a 1932

To close out this post, I got the brake pedal back after the chrome had been stripped several weeks ago. I made a crude forge that used charcoal briquets for fuel and the exhaust from a shop vac for an air source.

After two attempts of multi-cycles of heating, bending, cooling and fitting I was able to get the pedal so that it worked. It took about 4 hours with 20 to 30 trips in and out of the car before success. There are several small tweaks below the floorboard in the pedal, but above the the floorboard it looks and works great.

I'll send it out to be chrome plated once I get together of more stuff.

If I have time before sending it out, I may try to adjust the brakes on the beast.

Thanks to all for your input - they are always welcome!
