Looking for some help on identifying some pedals I have.

I'm trying to redo some on my 1935 coupe that has been converted to hydraulic brakes
I want to keep the hydraulic brakes.

This set is 1939-ONLY. This is the pedal set that most folks converting to hydraulics tend to use. They're a NEAR-bolt-in. You need to really 'finesse' & massage this set of pedals into the perfect position with relation to the pedals, steering column and frame mount location. '39 pedals are getting quite expensive these days, and becoming more difficult to find. The large bushing is also very difficult to find, although Fred Wilner may have some.

As far as the somewhat un-available pedal bushing for 1939 ford pedals, this is what the
late Dick Spadoro suggested to me. Go to your local hardware store and look in the plumbing supply section. I did this, and got the chrome plated plumbing pipe that worked fine.

nick ..... I remember reading about Spadaro's substituted 'p-trap' bushing. I figured coming from Dick, the idea must hold some merit.

If you will notice on your '39 pedals, the bracket and pedals themselves each have a number embossed. The '39 pedal set will have a "91-" as the prefix on the three parts. That "91" represents 1939 on Ford parts.

On the picture BELOW, I can see a prefix of "48". That "48" represents a part first used for 1935 model production, and since 1935 pedals are the same as 1936 pedals, one must assume that that "48" pedal set is from either a '35 or '36 Ford, as we know that the pedals again changed design for 1937/'38. The '37/'38 pedal sets had a "78" prefix number on the parts. So, this should help you identify all of the pedals in your pictures. I assume that the unpainted pedal set shown besides the '39 set is the original '35 pedals before you restored them?

The following information is based on the Ford Chassis Parts List dated June, 1937 and the April, 1937 Ford Service Bulletin, page 442 in the Service Bulletin reprints.

The pedal bracket, 48-2467, and clutch pedal, 48-7520-A2 were used on 1935 through 1937 cars and trucks. However, there were three brake pedals used in this time frame. The 1935 cars and trucks used 48-2455 brake pedal, for 1936 the wedge was changed in the brake assembly and the pedal was redesigned and assigned part number 68-2455-A. The pedal was redesigned again for 1937, however it was assigned a part number we would normally assume to have first been used in 1936. The part number of the brake pedal for 1937 is 68-2455-B and was used on 1937 passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Pictures of all the brake pedals are shown in the service bulletins.

I recently bought the large bushing for my 1937 pedals from barnfind08, so he still has some as well as the shaft.
 
Of all the extra parts that came with my 35' panel was
a hydraulic brake assy. The pedals were 09A 2455 (41-48 pass brake)
09A 7520A (42-48 pass; 42-47 comm clutch) and 01A 2467 (brkt)

I have checked the bracket number several times and it is 01A.
The green book does not list a prefix 01A.
Does anyone have an explanation ???
 
The 01A prefix on the bracket designates 1940 Ford as first use. The same bracket was used through 1948 on passenger cars.
 
If my bracket was used on 40 - 48 passenger cars and my pedals are 40 Merc;
Was this a combination that could have serviced both badges ???
 
If the pedals on this assy. are Mercury does that prove
someone changed them at some point for a homemade application ???

Or, would they fit into a Ford ???
