centering brake pedal

[clemdaddy]

I almost never do a tech thing and perhaps someone has already done this. But, a small thing that has always bothered me is that the auto and manual trans both use the same pedal hanger. When you change a manual to an auto and remove the clutch pedal (just like the factory did) then the brake pedal seems to be very close to the gas pedal. So, to fix this. I removed the clutch arm and cut the pedal off. Then cut the pedal off of the brake arm. Then the two pedals were sectioned and welded to the width of an early Impala power brake pad. The clutch and brake arms share a common hole which when bolted together to align them, I cut them off. The reason is to replace the brake arm with the clutch arm because the clutch arm kicks off to the left, therefore moving the pedal to the left.

If you want to move the brake pedal to the left and have a wider power brake pad, this is one way to do it. I hope some of this makes sense, if not perhaps the pics will.
