Help Identify Clutch Pedal
 

1 Attachment(s)
I am looking for a clutch Pedal like in the picture below. I Have not been able to identify what it was used on. It does not appear to be 32-48 passenger car but thought it possibly could be pickup. I would appreciate any help. Also would be interested if anyone has a pedal assembly with this clutch pedal they would part with.



Thanks Dan

Any chance there is a part number cast into it? My guess is that there is an extra bend that didn't come from the factory.

Charlie,
All I have is that picture. Yes it has been bent to fit that application. I have 33, 34, 35, 36, 38 & 39 pedal assemblies and none have that dog on the bottom of the clutch pedal but, after looking online at 1940 pedal assemblies I'm starting to think that may be a 40 brake pedal that has been used for the clutch pedal.

Looks like a 39 pedal setup that someone bent. Custom work, frame even has a nice little pocket. or not. Guess you could put and pedal on it.

No its not 39. 39 has the clutch dog on the far right end of the shaft.

Kind of looks like maybe they used two brake pedals. A brake pedal as a "clutch" pedal.

That is what I am thinking too.

they look like modified 40 pedals, in a 33-34 frame.

If you are doing a clean build, no matter the pedals you would want to put new bushings in it. Would then allow you to rebuild it with whatever pedals with some machining or none as the pedals should have the same shaft width.

If I can get out to the garage today, I'll take a look at some '40 and later pedal assemblies and some other loose pedals that have been removed from their mounting brackets. I know I have some pedals that look very similar to the one in your picture.

That would be great. Let me know what you come up with.

You are correct, that is exactly what they are and I am thinking the clutch pedal is a brake pedal.

I was thinking a 40 brake pedal too. The dog leg of the lower lever is the giveaway. It might be a mercury part. It's been bent so who can tell. It will have a part number on it so that would tell you. You won't get anther one as that is a custom application.

Yep, the dog leg is the giveaway.
I'm looking for a set of 40 pedals and then another 40 brake pedal so I can modify for the same application as shown in the picture.
It wasn't until after I started this thread that I figured out that clutch pedal in the picture was really a brake pedal used in place of the clutch pedal.

Not real impressed with cutting down almost through a structural member, the pedal is in the "up" position. Why would you want to recreate it? Or are you just curious?
P.S. You should have pictures of the nuke plant cooling towers displayed!

The X member gets boxed. I want to use a hydraulic clutch for my application.

Cooling towers are in the background can't you see them...LOL

Re: Help Identify Clutch Pedal
 

That's what I found with my 33. Mine has 39 pedals in it. The X member leg gets seriously compromised. One of the jobs on my backburner to-do list is to rework back to 33 pedals with an hydraulic conversion.

This is a fairly common approach to installing hydraulic brakes in the early frames (33/34).
