Re: 1940 Brake Pedal Spring

Not sure which spring you are speaking of. If the clutch, please ignore this post. You mention brake pedal with rod mount on one side and a nub on other side. If it is the brake retracting spring, logically I think it would go backwards into the frame. On the 47 the spring attaches to the pedal at the point where the rod to master attaches and goes straight back thru a hole in crossmember to another point on frame. With the prewar layout I see in parts manual, that same arrangement would give maximum strength to keep the pedal up... It seems to me unless the nub is different than the rod position, if the spring went vertical to firewall it would be more of an arc and there would not be enough tension.
