The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Brake Pedal Shaft Lock Pin

I am trying to shop for the lock Pin that goes on the end of the pedal shaft. ( See Attachment) 1950 3100 Chevy pickup. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

That is a lock for the brake anchor pins, attached to the backing plate. It does not have anything to do with the pedal shaft, which is held in place with a bolt.

Ok. Thank you. I’ll try there.

Well it came off the end of the pin/shaft//bolt that goes through all The pedals. Maybe it’s the wrong part I’m looking for. What goes on the end that holds the springs against the pedals?

Those are called anchor pin locks & there was one used to secure the brake & clutch pedal to the pedal shaft.

The smaller sized locks were used on the brake systems and the large size lock was used on the pedal shaft.

I am not offering anything for sale here....Only offering more info. on the parts to point the O.P. in the right direction in fixing the part.

M/T so that no one gets in trouble, Fuzzy has an email address listed in his profile. Since he doesn’t have enough posts yet he can’t send/receive PM’s yet.

I can see no reason why a snap ring of the correct diameter and thickness would not work in place of those hard to find/awkward to install original clips. A snap ring would be a much more secure way to hold that pin in place.
I will bet that GM used those funky clips to save pennies in materials and labor to install them. They install just fine unless they become distorted from prior removal. They likely were not designed for re-use.

I stand corrected. I was looking where the pedal itself bolts to the shaft on the front side of the firewall.

Fuzzy,

I may have the size lock pin you are trying to find. Can you measure some inside dimensions?

ID .87”. OD1.19”. I may try a snap ring if I cannot find anything else.

May be the same as the clip on the older huk brakes seen them on line at on of the vender sites if they are the same.
