It had a hole in the middle for the metal bar to go through.
It acts as a stop so the metal bar doesn't strike the underside of the firewall when the brake pedal is released.
Does anyone one know who sells this, and what it is officially called?

The brake pedal uses the stop in the master. | | | | | Joined: May 2003 Posts: 183 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2003 Posts: 183 | Truckernix,
Oops! You're right, the metal bar I was looking at is attached to the clutch pedal.
Thanks.
