Re: Hydroboost on a 58 -59 3100

The Dash support bracket needs to have some way of hanging the pedal. So I cut out 2 side panels so the pedal has a mount point.
I tacked in the plates and drilled a hole for the pedal pivot. I temporarily used a piece of copper tube to hang the pedal. You may have to fab a pedal or you could get luck an just used one that is close to the dimensions you need.. Because I have a recessed firewall I had to make some bends to mine and decided to fab one complete.
The pedal is from a 77 and it gives me a rough idea of where the new pedal has to go and what bends I need to put into it. We also need to put in some bracing because as its just to flimsy for the stresses of a brake pedal.
