As mentioned, I had problems trying to find the clamp that holds on the brake and clutch pedals. So I decided that it would be possible to make one using aluminum bar that was .75 thick and 1.00" wide. For a discussion on the issue see the blog posted on the site under prewar Packards (Seehttps://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=11211&forum=1&post_id=116948#forumpost116948 )
I cut two pieces 2.0" long. One piece was threaded for .1/4" NC studs and the other was drilled through with a 17/64" drill bit. Then the two pieces were bolted together and a 7/8" diameter hole drilled though them between the two studs. Afterwards, a 1.00" bit was used to drill in from both sides without going all the way through. This left a small shoulder (See photo labeled Bracket, Shoulder Highlighted in Red) inside that was filed and ground to fit it in such a manner that it would clamp onto the brake/clutch shaft. When the time comes, the completed bracket will be drilled and tapped in order to install the brake switch on the side.
