1939 Brake Pedal / Cluster assembly

Posted by jwblazek On 2017/12/29 14:09:08

Been working all month on what should have been a quick project, replacing the king pins and bushings. Finally have all that completed including new front wheel bearings and seals when I noticed a puddle of brake fluid under the car. Long story short, had to replace the master cylinder

That went pretty smoothly and even without bleeding the brakes, have a decent pedal. Will bleed the entire system later today before taking it for a test drive, I hope..

I noticed that the brake pedal has a lot of side to side movement. I can't find a diagram of how the pedal cluster mounts to the frame, did find plate that showed the assembly including PN 3.116. On this car, looks like this was fabricated from a piece of threaded rod sometime in its past. The way this was fabricated, however, it is not adjustable.

Lots of caked on dirt and grease under there which I will commence cleaning, but suggestions or diagram on how this assembly is mounted to the frame would be helpful. Hoping it is just a worn bushing that I can find or fabricate.
Ideas anyone?

Thanks !
