It looks to me from you pic, that the brake pedal shaft is not at the correct angle. The fact that the hole in the toeboard is slotted would tend to confirm this. It should be a round hole and the pedal shaft should not make any contact with the toeboard. The adjustment to this pedal shaft angle is done under the hood where the pedal shaft is bolted to the brake lever. The contact area between the pedal shaft end and the end of the brake lever has numerous serrations in it to maintain a tight fit. It is very easy to bolt this together in the incorrect position. Removal of the brake pedal return spring will make this correction much easier.
