[QUOTE=ptc;8038156]Oh well dont need brake lights anymore cause I just broke off the brake pedal assembly.... can you say MAJOR SETBACK!!!! --- this thing is ready to run! and no brakes!!!
Remember this custom thing I made out of a Wilwood multi-res assembly to go under my floor?
Well I just snapped the end of that long 1/2" bolt off that pushed the ram into the booster. I guess Im just gonna have to take the whole thing out and start over with a different idea.... tear up the firewall again and weld in
some type of STANDARD brake pedal assembly like regular "white-folk" do..... instead of this redneck backyard mechanic stuff!
oh well.... thank God - good thing it happened now instead of out on the street!!!!
I need a vacation --- think I'll go to Florida!
Okay so this is what I essentially made (from scratch)
This is an $80 Porsche clutch lever.....
I used just a 1/2"-13 Bolt black steel and then I had to drill and thread 1/4-20 "pins" on either end for the pedal and the lever. So I removed 50% of the bolt material on both ends
and thats why it failed right at the 1/4" threaded hole on the lever end.

ptc, use a pillow block bearing bolted to a plate and mount it under all 4 bolts of your bracket, to support the brake pedal shaft, you are sticking out way too far unsupported!
