Hi Guys, I need help. First time build. 36 roadster brake pedal hits frame when it returns. Don't think this is right. The brake arm only has a M3 on it. The clutch has 48-7520-A2. Are these the right arms? I sur would appreciate any hep you can give me. Thanks in advance
 
Greetings Everyone. JAS1949 do you have the toe board installed? The clutch and brake pedal stop their upward movement somewhere near/resting on the rubber bumpers mounted under the 1936 drivers side toe board on my car.

A "48-7520-A2" is the correct number for a '35-'36 clutch pedal. The brake should have the number "48-2455" forged upon it. "48-" represents 1935 "first year used'....'36 is same as '35 pedal-wise. "7520" is Ford's identifier for a clutch pedal. Ford's identifier for a brake pedal is "2455". It MAY, or may NOT have an "-A" or "-A2" suffix after the "2455". DD
 
Thanks Guys. No I dont have the toe board installed. Frame off restoration. Couldn't find any other number on brake ar. Bends slightly to left then goes straight. I'll try and post a picture tomorrow. Thanks for the info,
 
i have found that laying a straight edge across the flat number pad on the transmission will give you a fairly close example of where the floor boards will end up once installed. good for mock up stuff
 
The were two brake pedals used in '36 models. Initially, 48-2455 was used and in later production it was replaced by 68-2455-A. This pedal had a '17' forged into the shank of the pedal. It is longer from the pedal pad to the elbow than the previous version and its pad does not quite line up with the clutch pedal pad. My late phaeton has a 68-2455-A brake pedal.
