Well I heard back from Mike Dulinski in Duluth. He now has 95 parts cars from 55-56 and not a single one of them, not one, has manual brakes. They must have been rare indeed. So I'll most likely use an aftermarket pedal assy.

However, Mike did give me an idea on how to use the stock suspended brake pedal. A rod pinned at the brake pedal going to an aftermarket brake pedal shaft that's cut and pinned to the rod. This should compensate for the different arcs of the suspended pedal and the pedal shaft coming up from the pivot point. It could work. We're going to get together at the shop after Christmas to lay it out. I'll take lots of pictures and post them as we progress.
