Brake and clutch bumper

[edwin wells]

Hi All,

Since I am in the process of re-installing my clutch and brake pedals, I purchased a "clutch and brake pedal bumper" that I had seen in a catalog. Not the first time I have bought something without thinking it all the way through!

At least I am smart enough to ask the experts: Where the heck does this thing mount? Is it on the motor side of the firewall or is in under the pedals somehow in the cab?

I also realized that I probably need two, since last I checked I had both a clutch and brake pedal.

Any help appreciated -

Ed

Bilbo just put a set of these (2) on his '50 GMvolet truck. They mount on the pieces that the pedals bolt onto.

Thanks Bill. I will try to mount 'em tonight.

They slide onto the pedal arms so they contact the underside of the toeboard and make less noise when you let the pedal up. Then bolt the pedals to the arms.

the brake arm will not use a bumper, just the clutch

if you choose to add a bumper to the brake arm make sure you clear the stop switch and maintain clearance called out for in the manual

Yep, goes on the clutch arm to keep it from slapping the toe board when released. I got mine from our sponsor. The opening was way to small and I had to cut to fit.
